Storing data

Description

Holding data involves the deliberate retention and secure storage of information to ensure its availability for future analysis, decision-making, or compliance purposes. This strategy addresses issues such as data loss, unauthorized access, and regulatory non-compliance by implementing robust data management systems, backup protocols, and access controls. Its practical intent is to safeguard critical information assets, support organizational continuity, and enable timely retrieval of accurate data when needed for operational or legal requirements.
