Foundation Security implements a comprehensive set of security controls and configurations that serve as the minimum level of protection for hundreds of virtual machines. Data safeguarding is the process of protecting data from unauthorized access, loss, or corruption. It involves a range of practices and measures. Data protection safeguards information from damage, corruption or loss and ensures that data is readily available to users through backup, recovery and proper governance. Data privacy is about controlling access to specific data. Nevertheless, data safeguards encompass a range of measures and practices aimed at ensuring the efficient management, security and privacy of data within an organization. Hence this chapter will show the protective measures prescribed to meet the security requirements such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability specified for an information system. Safeguards may include security features, management constraints, personnel security and security of physical structures, areas and devices.
