Information Technology (IT) makes it possible to electronically distribute data between actorswho are in geographically diverse areas. Nowadays, information is sent less frequently throughtraditional correspondence in favor of faster electronic equivalents via the internet.Despite effective IT environmentand secure encryption techniques choose some actors to sendinformation through physical delivery. This phenomenon occurs in those working withconfidential information as it is handled by a number of rules and safety regulations.Based on a set of rules and requirements, we have looked over the possibility of sending sensitiveinformation electronically over the internet. The aim was to find general guidelines for howcompanies and organizations should manage and send sensitive information over insecurenetworks. This led us to our research question: How can information be exchanged betweenactors in geographically diverse areas be categorized and encrypted so that it can be transportedover the internet without security or integrity deficiencies?To answer the question, there was a case study at a defense company. Based on the assumptionsand requirements have general guidelines been developed using existing technologies andtheories of informationsecurity.Based on the case study, we concluded that if actors have an understanding of informationvalue, it is easier to set up general guidelines for how it should be handled by different peopleand systems.At present, information technology a whim developed area so that it is not considered as anobstacle to enable secure storage, distribution and processing of sensitive data. The biggestchallenge is instead the administrative steps required to get an understanding of howinformation should be handled before and outside of the organization. By understanding thevalue of the information is easier to propose the technical options that can be used to achieve thedesired results.
