What sort of information, is it subject to any additional laws or regulations like FISMA(gov't), PCI(creditcard/SSN), HIPAA(patient/doctor)? Is Public key cryptography required or will password protection do? GPG/PGP can be complex to setup and maintain the keys and their exchanges, especially with non-tech savvy folk. We like to use AES-256 bit encryption from 7zip and maintain an offline list of passwords (printed to paper as opposed to keeping on a PC).<br />

I was tasked to automate an encryption of a data extraction output. It's basically a query to a SQL table and saved as a .csv file. Then I want to be able to use GNU Privacy Guard and encrypt the file.<br />
<br />
Is there anyway to automate this process? I was maybe SSIS and then use xp_sendmail (Transact-SQL)<br />
to send the email with the file attached.

GNU Privacy Guard automation of file encryption?

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
