When data media are replaced or transported, the information on them might be transferred from a secured environment via an insecure route to an insecure environment at the receiving end. In such cases, unauthorised persons could make copies of this information more easily than in the original environment.
Example:
Confidential engineering results are to be transported from a development laboratory in town X to the production site in town Y. If the data media are mailed without any supervision or control, the information on them might be copied illegally and perhaps sold to a competitor, without any indication of such an exposure of information.
