Key Data QuestionsKey Data Questions

Is this your only copy? Is this your only backup? What if someone steals your

computer or external hard drive? What will you do WHEN your disk

drives fail? Can you regenerate data or pull

down a copy from elsewhere?

Key Access QuestionsKey Access Questions

Is your environment secure? Water? Electrical problems? Who has access to your

computer or local server? Operating system vulnerable? Has your security been tested?

Security audit? Penetration test?
