Encryption: Data volumes are backed up and stored on encrypted devices.

Usable once revised. A reviewer wants the wording tightened first.

Encryption: Data volumes are backed up and stored on encrypted devices. These devices are rotated off site to ensure recovery is possible in a disaster. If it is necessary to store sensitive data on desktop computers, the data will be encrypted using PGP Desktop Encryption software. The software creates a virtual partition on the hard drive which is mounted and dismounted as needed. The partition is secured with AES 256-bit block cipher encryption and with registered user authentication. Data on desktop computers must not be backed up or stored in any other location which is not similarly encrypted.
