This standard ensures you have adequate backups of the data the IT System contains. This can include data the IT System accesses, creates, transmits, stores, or receives. To ensure you have adequate backups, you need to know how much data you can afford to lose.

Data recovery capabilities help protect the integrity and availability of the data. In the event of a security incident, such as ransomware, data recovery can help:

  • Restore lost data
  • Determine if data was tampered with or changed
