What if you have 30-40 people on staff, I can't imagine every employee would have access to the key. If I was a large company (like a sponsor for example), I'd have the actual records (paper versions) kept in an actual safe and have my attorney keep the key. That way when an audit happens, my attorney will be present. I think providing the actual database of encrypted records should suffice as possession of the records. While its not immediately viewable, it should be enough in my humble opinion. Whether this stands true in a court has not been determined, but its much better than the existing solution proposed by TCG in my opinion.
