In a business, marketing, finance, production, and human resource departments require different types of data. In production the data may be simply a serial number for a component whilst in the marketing department data make relate to the customer’s name, address, types of products purchased, volume of products purchased in the 12 months and the amount of money spent. The attributes of data include confidentiality, integrity and availability.  \nConfidentiality entails the management of sensitive data and ensuring that it remains secure. Integrity relates to the management and storage of accurate, authentic and trustworthy data.  \nAvailability refers to the timeliness and reliability of access to and use of data.  \nData confidentiality  \nThe primary focus of data confidentiality is to protect data. The threat to data can be in the form of disclosure, theft, or unauthorised access.  \n1  \nFACTFILE: GCE PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS SERVICE  \nData confidentiality relates to the level of privacy attributed to stored information (Rainer et al., 2013). The confidentiality is protected by limiting the number of people who are authorised to see, share and use the data. Information with low confidentiality could be viewed as carrying little threat beyond its targeted audience. Examples include the opening and closing times of a supermarket posted on its website or the titles of films on show at a cinema displayed on posters outside the venue. However, data can be highly confidential when it needs to be protected to ensure no damage to individuals or organisations e.g. a hospital patient’s records or customer’s bank accounts need to be secure to protect the patients’privacy and the customers’money. In addition, if there is a breach in the security of the data this can result in reputational damage to either the hospital or bank.  \nData confidentiality can be effectively managed by encrypting sensitive files, managing who can access data (CPNI, 2015), providing physical (locked areas, cabinets and safes) security for data (BBC, 2020), install protocols for collecting data, manage the use of data, protect the systems, processes, hardware and software that supports the acquisition, storage, utilisation, and disposal of data.  \nData integrity  \nIntegrity relates to the accuracy, authenticity, and trustworthiness of data and ensuring the data is properly maintained or is not adversely altered (Rainer e","cbCaijFHktdtvuGv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijFHktdtvuGv","pdf",138686,9,"English","# Learning Outcomes\n## Principles of Keeping Data Safe\n## Data Confidentiality\n## Data Integrity\n## Data Availability\n## Types of Threats Associated with Cyber Security\n## Cyber Security Threats Defined","[{\"question\":\"What are the three principles of keeping data safe in this unit?\",\"answer\":\"They are confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
