S 6.38 Backup copies of transferred data

Initiation responsibility: IT Security Officer

Implementation responsibility: User

If the data to be transferred has only been created or collected specifically for transfer and is not stored on any other data medium, then a backup copy of this data should be made. If the data medium is lost or damaged during transfer, then the data can be sent again quickly and easily.

Review questions:

• Is a backup copy of the data to be transferred stored in case the data were only compiled for such purpose and are not stored on another medium?
