    Abstract: A method and apparatus useful to sequester sensitive identifiable data from the data associated therewith and store this sensitive data in a shielded limited access structure while the associated data is periodically processed in a data center while concurrently scanned for potential malware/ransomware script. Once thus cleaned the data processed in the data center is then converted to a read only form and as thus converted brought to the limited access structure where it is screened once again for script tags and if none are found is then merged with the corresponding identifiable data to be printed and mailed. This repeated screening pass together with the periodic nature of the data center's operations combine to minimize all potential exposure to unwanted data contamination while the secured nature of the limited access structure can be used for secure long term storage.
