Processing of Data
Data refers to information stored, processed or transferred in different modes. The data may consist of a single document, a file, a voice or picture recording, speech, database, software to be executed, a sample or some other form. The data has to be looked at from the viewpoint of its total lifecycle.
The stages of data processing are its creation, use, alteration, storage, transfer, distribution, copying, filing and destruction. When processing information it must be taken into consideration that the data being processed is often significantly more valuable than the medium used in the processing. The following recommendations could be useful to protect data:
- Identify the classification of material and any restrictions relating to its use, disclosure and processing.
- If you are drafting a document to be kept secret, you are, in accordance with your tasks, also responsible for its classification and marking. Some material to be kept secret is governed by security classification.
- Handle information carefully irrespective of the medium – no matter whether the information is transmitted by computer, paper, telephone, tape, laboratory sample or telefax.
- Where it is possible, store what you have created on a server, from where Information Management will verify the information. Avoid a situation in which a document or other material exists only in your own personal computer, because if the hard disk is destroyed, all data may be lost.
- Always check a CD ROM or other storage medium brought from outside with an antivirus program before using it.
- If you have to send confidential information, ensure that the recipient is entitled to it and that he receives the material.
- Remember that you may use and process information only when attending to your own tasks. The use of information in a personal data file violating its purpose of use is against the law. Remember that the browsing and other use of information is subject to supervision.
- Make sure that you do not disclose confidential information in a public place.
