Protect recovery data with equivalent controls to the original data. Reference encryption or data
separation, based on requirements.
When the confidentiality of backups is important, backups are protected by encryption. The need to encrypt backups may become highlighted when backups are stored in a physical location where security policies are unknown.
The organization secures recovery data by implementing robust encryption techniques, enforcing strict access controls, and conducting regular security audits. Data masking and anonymization are applied for additional protection, while checksums and hashing maintain data integrity.
