CIOL: What role you see for standardization in preserving data integrity?
RR: Standardization will help in the process of preserving data integrity.
The benefits of data standardization include:

•  facilitating information exchange,
•  having uniform audit mechanisms,
•  reducing data maintenance costs,
•  providing "rich" data and information,
•  allowing easy access to information, and
•  improving communication and coordination
  

CIOL: In what way the concepts like data center and intelligence information network (IIN) are helpful in this regard?
RR: A data center is usually maintained by an organization for the purpose of handling the data necessary for its operations. A data center therefore keeps high standards for assuring the integrity and functionality of its hosted computer environment. This is depicted in its physical and logical layout. The main purpose of a data center is running the applications that handle the core business and operational data of the organization.

Data centers are also used for off site backups. Larger companies may also send their backups off site for added security. This can be done by backing up to a data center. Encrypted backups can be sent over the internet to data center where they can be stored securely.

Now INI, intelligence can be any source of information, suitably assessed and processed according to established methods. The information so gathered is processed by one or more analysts and turned into an intelligence product. Information is conveyed between nodes of the network by a variety of secure/clandestine means, be they physical or electronic.

An intelligence network is a system through which information about a particular entity is collected for the benefit of another through the use of more than one, inter-related source. Intelligence is a military and/or governmental term referring to the information used in making decisions.
