The following are some steps companies should take to ensure
data integrity:
- Embed data integrity verification activities into internal audit processes
- Create awareness among staff so they can assist with this endeavor, and report concerns before they become full-fledged issues
- Train internal auditors to understand what to look for when detecting data integrity deficiencies
- Seek external support to assure completely unbiased, third-party investigations and/or to enhance your internal investigation program.
- It should come as no surprise that companies already struggling to meet basic compliance standards are at a disadvantage when it comes to data integrity. Making data integrity a key element of a compliance approach, however, will give the company a competitive advantage. It is always better to proactively prevent issues, such as data integrity failures, to occur, than trying to remediate and resolve inspection findings. Compliance excellence makes good business sense.
