An organization sends daily backup media by courier to an offsite location. Which of the following provides the BEST evidence that the media is transported reliably?
While certification of the courier company (option C) may provide some level of assurance regarding the reliability and security practices of the courier service, signed acknowledgments from the offsite manager offer more direct evidence of successful delivery to the designated location. This firsthand confirmation from the recipient ensures accountability and helps verify the effectiveness of the transportation process for the backup media.
B: Signed acknowledgments serve as tangible proof that the backup media arrived safely and as expected at the offsite location. This confirms successful delivery, helps with accountability, and provides an audit trail.
Certification of the courier company: Indicates general credibility, but doesn’t prove actual delivery of specific backups.
This provides:
Direct, verifiable proof that the media was delivered to the correct location.
An audit trail showing that the transport was completed successfully each day.
Accountability, as someone physically confirms receipt.
These signatures confirm that the offsite manager has physically received the media, verifying the integrity and authenticity of the delivery. This helps ensure accountability and minimizes the risk of data loss or tampering during transit.
The courier company may take it to the off-site center, but the responsible person may not necessarily receive it, so the control strength is higher with the responsible person's receipt by the off-site manager.
