Integrity, in terms of data and network security, is the assurance that
information can only be accessed or modified by those authorized to do so. At
VFS Global, we take measures to ensure integrity, which include controlling the
physical environment of networked terminals and servers, restricting access to
data, and maintaining rigorous authentication practices.
Practices followed to protect data integrity in the physical environment
include: making servers accessible only to network administrators, keeping
transmission media (such as cables and connectors) covered and protected to
ensure that they cannot be tapped, and protecting hardware and storage media
from power surges, electrostatic discharges and magnetism.
Our network administration measures to ensure data integrity include:
maintaining current authorization levels for all users, documenting system
administration procedures, parameters, and maintenance activities, and creating
disaster recovery plans for occurrences such as power outages, server failure
and virus attacks.
