Confidential information system/database
'Bolsa' is often used (in Spain at least) in this context, just to mean a centralized system containing information i.e. a database in my mind.
In the same was as a 'bolsa de trabajo' is a centralized system providing information on jobs/employment, I would say that a 'bolsa de información confidencial' is a centralized system which collects all confidential information.
I would use "confidential information database" in this context or, if you're not sure that it's electronic (it could be paper filing), I'd simply use "confidential information system", which is suitably generic as it could be a filing system or an IT system.

: It's possible that this is information stored electronically. However, the phrase is usually followed by "Núm. folio de bolsa de inf.confidencial". Makes me think this is a paper "packet", "registry", "file", or something else. I don't have the answer.

CONFIDENTIAL DATA POOL
A data pool is a centralised database, where all necessary information to perform business transactions between trading partners is stored in a standardised way.
A data pool is the common point in the communication between the trading partners, provide synchronization capability of their data. This information is accessible to all trading partners in a common, simple, fast and accurate manner.

Since the COFEPRIS site concerns "approval to sell medical devices in Mexico", I think the Global Trade Item Number and GLN, etc, will be key elements in these transactions, hence my preference over "database", which I perceive as more general.

Discussion
I think "dossier" is a more likely meaning, but I have nothing to prove this.
I have found a document available in both English and Spanish, in which "bolsa de información del paciente" and "patient information pouch" are used, but I'm far from convinced this is relevant to your case:
