Manage Data Center Operations RCM
Key Risks and Controls for Data Center Operations Management
Explore how common database management risks connect to well-designed control activities. The risks offer a starting point for evaluating whether data is retained, protected, available and managed in line with business and compliance expectations. This tool illustrates the types of risks and controls teams may consider when assessing database operations, documenting gaps or strengthening an existing control framework. The four featured samples show how to translate broad technology concerns into focused control considerations that can support planning, interviews, walk-throughs and risk discussions.
Key Features:
- Connect data retention risks with practical lifecycle and disposal controls.
- Assess backup, recovery, testing and secure media-handling practices.
- Evaluate database performance monitoring, service expectations and issue resolution.
- Strengthen governance through licensing, architecture, documentation and controlled changes.
