The Overview of Data Integrity
HI Hi, Greetings! 
Festival April 
Today, I would like to share with you an article about the overview of Data Integrity. I hope this article has support for a security consultant. Let's move to the article and I will explain part by part.
PART 03:
Why is data integrity important?
Data integrity may save your company time, effort, and money by avoiding the time, effort, and money it would take to make a major decision based on inaccurate or incomplete data. After all, the data on which data-driven decisions are based is only as good as the data on which they are based. If the integrity of your company's data is harmed in any manner, the consequences could be long-term and far-reaching.
Data integrity safeguards the information and image of your data subjects in addition to assisting in sound decision-making. For example, you might gather personally identifiable information (PII) from your consumers, such as their full name, Social Security number, address, and credit card number. If a mistake is made in the dataset, whether it's a simple typo or a malicious external hacking attempt, your customers' information could not only end up in the wrong hands but could also be used to misrepresent them.
This is also true of first-party data, which is information gathered by tracking your users' actions or by asking them questions. Although this information isn't as personal as their Social Security number, any mistakes can affect how the company perceives them and, as a result, how they've interacted with and included in larger trends.
It's in your best interest to achieve and maintain data integrity for the sake of your customers, data subjects, and the larger company.
Risks to data integrity
The integrity of data stored in a database can be affected by a variety of factors. The following are a few examples:
Errors made by humans:
Data integrity is jeopardized when people enter information incorrectly, duplicate or delete data, fail to follow proper protocols, or make mistakes during the implementation of procedures designed to protect data.
Errors in transfer:
When data cannot be efficiently transferred from one database location to another, a transfer error occurs. Transfer errors occur when a piece of data is present in the destination table but not in the source table in a relational database.
Viruses and bugs:
Spyware, malware, and viruses are programs that can infiltrate a computer and change, erase, or steal data.
Compromised hardware:
Sudden computer or server crashes, as well as concerns with the performance of a computer or other device, could signal that your hardware is compromised. Compromise hardware could result in data being produced incorrectly or incompletely, data access being limited or removed, or information is difficult to utilize.
