• Check Data Consistency

  Review data across different sources to ensure that similar data points align and there are no discrepancies.

• Evaluate Data Security

  Assess the security measures in place for each data source to ensure that sensitive information is protected against unauthorized access.

• Document Data Integrity Tests

  Record the methods and findings from the integrity tests conducted on the data sources for future reference and audit trails.
