Backup Controls for TVA's Data Centers

Report Information

Date Issued
Report Number

Report Type
Audit
Description
We reviewed controls pertaining to program and data backup storage and retrieval for TVA's data centers and the physical controls of an offsite storage facility to determine if controls surrounding the backup storage and retrieval process were adequate to ensure ongoing system operations, and if physical and environmental controls were sufficient to protect the off-site facilities from unauthorized access and environmental hazards. We determined that both the (1) storage and retrieval process controls and (2) environmental controls need improvement. Management agreed with our findings and plans to initiate corrective action.
