Abstract
High-powered computers and cheap storage have made it possible for businesses to store unprecedented amounts of personal data about their customers. As a result, there has been a big push to secure this confidential information. Even state and federal government have gotten in on the act by passing a flurry of consumer protection and personal data privacy laws and regulations. If your organization falls under the scope of the various regulations and data privacy laws, like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), you’ll be pleased to know that SQL Server 2008 includes several Transact-SQL (T-SQL) extensions and built-in functions to make securing personal data in the database easier than ever.
