Whether the modality of the crime fits with an unsecured security assessment, it does provide a good opportunity for everyone to assess how this information is kept.
In so many cases, 'conveinience' DOES NOT EQUAL 'secure'. Keeping these reports locked up behind firewalls and granting file access on explicit permissions seems to be especially prudent. Making a point to demonstrate the data security of this information to (potential) customers/management might put them more at ease.
Having copies of these docs floating around unsecured on laptops or cell phones invites nightmarish trouble!
