		<title>Is it Ever Okay to Copy &#8220;Final&#8221; Documents to a Separate System?</title>

		<title>Open By Design, Closed By Exception &#8211; Best Practices in Information Security</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a debate that is as old as the information management industry itself (which isn&#8217;t really that old, but bear with me). Users want to collaborate freely and access the internal information they need while your IT security team wants to information shared only on a &#8220;need to know&#8221; basis.
