Jack keeps his client card file locked in a secure file cabinet in his office. He allows personnel in the office to access it only when a conflict check needs to be performed, or a new client needs to be added to the file.

Where the data is of a confidential or privileged nature, a secure procedure can be implemented for limiting access only to those who need the data. For example, in Access, records can be encrypted and locked with a password that can be easily changed, or made available to those who must access the information.
