What is Integrity and confidentiality (security)?

Confidentiality measures are put in place to keep sensitive information out of the hands of unauthorised parties. Data is frequently classified based on the potential harm it could cause if it were to fall into the wrong hands, and measures can then be taken in accordance with those categories.
Integrity is to making sure that data is accurate, consistent, and reliable at every stage in its lifecycle. Transmitted data must not be altered and safeguards must be implemented to prevent unauthorised individuals from altering the data.
