Placing
a value on data may not be something previously thought about. However two
questions need to be answered.
Q.
What value do you put on your data?
Q. If all of your data was to be lost (both paper and electronic)would your
business still be able to function?
Data
Integrity.
All data, by its very description is held on a volatile medium, CD Rom can
be scratched, wear over time or even lost. Hard disk's can fail, corrupt or
be stolen. Backup devices can also follow the same pattern. All items are
also prone to failure when in contact with fire. Is this data checked or validated
during this time, is it stored in the correct environment? These and other
issues are covered within the Joshua Tree Systems data planning guide.
Data
Protection.
In the event of an unauthorised visitor to the data environment what steps
have been taken to restrict access at the data level? Encryption is easy to
deploy but requires planning and procedures to manage and control. If the
key is lost to encrypted data the data is then in effect lost. Joshua Tree
Systems offer comprehensive data security models based upon the required level
of security.
