Gramm Leach Bliley (GLB) is another federal law with a much broader scope than HIPAA. This law was designed to compel financial institutions to “respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers’ non-public personal information.” This language suggests that paper documents containing such personal information should also be protected when in use and safely destroyed when no longer current and usable.
