Data Integrity Threats
Bookmark :
Considering the investment you have made in your Lotus Notes/Domino infrastructure, it is critical to promote data integrity to help maximize the return on your investment. In general, you can address threats to data integrity by implementing both preventive and detective initiatives.
| Data Integrity Threat | Detection or Prevention |
|---|---|
| Perform Regular Data Backups | Prevention |
| Control Access to Data via Security Mechanisms | Prevention |
| Monitor Access to Data via Security Mechanisms | Detection |
| Design User Interfaces that Prevent the Input of Invalid Data | Prevention |
| Design Document Maintenance into the Application | Prevention |
| Monitor Updates to Documents and Record Change Histories | Detection |
| Use Error Detection and Correction Software when Transmitting Data | Detection |
| Scan Applications Regularly for Common Issues such as Broken URL Links | Detection |
Within the Lotus Notes/Domino environment, general threats can occur as well as Notes-specific problems such as save/replication errors, poor replication strategies, broken links to documents or Lookup Views, or users simply in the wrong application.
