Alison, you hit on my point about FDE? Is it really compliance? It seems to me that FDE complies with the MA law only if the laptop is powered off. Does FDE comply when you're using the computer? Not familiar with the MA wording so that's why I'm asking. Do you need some other encryption tool (truecrypt, PGP Netshare, GPG, etc.) to be compliant when the machine is in use? -r.

Rich - one reason to consider FDE is compliance related - in Massachusetts, there is a regulatory requirement to encrypt personal data on laptops (and other portable devices) and in other states, if the lost/stolen laptop has been encrypted, then you don't need to notify ......Allison Dolan (617-252-1461)
