As I understand it, communications over a public network can not be 'in the clear;' they need to be encrypted. I don't know about a private network (say within your company) or a dial-up link to a provider of some sort.

I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement where I work ("I promise not to tell anyone anything unless someone higher up tells me (in writing) that it's legal to do so"). Anyone with security officer-type clearance needed to sign such an agreement.

Our AS/400s don't reveal a lot of information to the world, and we've always had tighter security on our HR/PY (Human Resources / Payroll) libraries to keep people from peeking. And it's always been assumed that if you have authorization to look at these libraries you better keep your mouth shut about what you see! Now it's legally binding.

Of course, our HR/PY departments issued all employees the "what The Company can and can't and won't reveal" memo. Reading it, it seems there are more exceptions than protections. I am reasonably certain that they can still tell anyone anything anytime, but now they have to document it. (:
