I know there is sometimes a blurry line between the tasks and responsibilities of GIS and traditional IT folks. Hopefully not breaking any protocol by sending this along. CT-GMIS is a non-profit organization of municipal IT directors. Some good speakers coming on a hot topic.

Finance Department * Personal Identifiable Information PII Name, Address, DOB, SSN, etc. * Encryption-Database, Files, Excel * PCI-Payment Card Industry (credit card, debit card, and ACH transactions) Police Department Criminal Justice Information needs to be protected per federal and state requirements.
