1. A method of managing sensitive data at a facility, comprising:

  • following receipt of a request for a secure support session, receiving information, wherein at least a portion of the information is encrypted;

    associating the information with a data record uniquely associated with the secure support session;

    instantiating a transient secure computing environment associated with the data record, the transient secure computing environment being access-restricted;

    receiving the information in the transient secure computing environment;

    decrypting the information, wherein, upon decryption, the information is available for viewing and manipulation only within the transient secure computing environment; and

    upon close of the data record indicating that an operation associated with the information is complete, terminating the transient secure computing environment associated with the data record and deleting the information;

    wherein the instantiating step is carried out in software executing in a hardware element.
