IANAL, but my understanding is a definite "Yes" to this. National Privacy Principle 9 applies even to encrypted data, because there's no hard and fast definition of what "encryption" means. NPP #4 requires us to take "reasonable steps" to secure information, and encryption is certainly one of those steps, for what the IT profession generally considers reasonable. For example, if I simply password protected an MS Word 97 document, there's no way in this day and age I could defend that as being "reasonable" encryption.
