To avoid the above condition ANSI formulated a committee for the entire world to have standardized format for the electronic transaction. What is the name of the standard? Discuss the working concepts of that standard.

4 Assume that you are the project manager of VSG company. Due to some reason the company’s server got shut down and the company is not able to access the company’s confidential data. What steps would have been taken by you to avoid this?

Answer : You’ve heard it hundreds of times if not more — back up the data on your PCs. Maybe you even do this on a regular basis.

Still, as events in the past have proved, it doesn’t do much good to backup your critical data if it’s going to be stored locally. A hurricane or other natural disaster can affect a large area, putting your backup in as much peril as if it was stored at your organization’s site.
