Data security governance ensures data integrity by establishing policies, procedures, and technical controls to protect data from unauthorized modification, corruption, or deletion throughout its lifecycle. It involves defining roles and responsibilities, implementing access controls, conducting regular audits, and using encryption and checksums to verify data accuracy.
For example, a company may enforce role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure only authorized personnel can modify sensitive data. Additionally, it might use cryptographic hashing to detect unauthorized changes. Regular audits and logging help identify anomalies, while backup and recovery mechanisms ensure data can be restored if compromised.
In the cloud, services like Tencent Cloud's Data Security Center provide features such as data encryption, access monitoring, and integrity checks to safeguard data. Tencent Cloud COS (Cloud Object Storage) supports server-side encryption and versioning, ensuring data remains unaltered and recoverable. Tencent Cloud Database Audit tracks database activities, helping detect and prevent unauthorized modifications. These tools collectively strengthen data integrity within a governed security framework.
