Data integrity

Data integrity is the maintenance of, and the assurance of, data accuracy and consistency over its entire life-cycle.[1] It is a critical aspect to the design, implementation, and usage of any system that stores, processes, or retrieves data. The term is broad in scope and may have widely different meanings depending on the specific context even under the same general umbrella of computing. It is at times used as a proxy term for data quality,[2] while data validation is a prerequisite for data integrity.[3]
