Everything about Data Security totally explained

Data security is the means of ensuring that data is kept safe from corruption and that access to it's suitably controlled. Thus data security helps to ensure privacy. It also helps in protecting personal data. In the UK, the Data Protection Act is used to ensure that personal data is accessible to those whom it concerns, and provides redress to individuals if there are inaccuracies. This is particularly important to ensure individuals are treated fairly, for example for credit checking purposes. The Data Protection Act states that only individuals and companies with legitimate and lawful reasons can process personal information and can't be shared.
   The International Standard ISO/IEC 17799 covers data security under the topic of information security, and one of its cardinal principles is that all stored information, for example data, should be owned so that it's clear whose responsibility it's to protect and control access to that data.
