It added that personnel should check for misspellings or inconsistencies, typographical errors, grammatical errors, or awkward language. This, the SC said, is “to ensure data redundancy and availability in case of hardware failure, data corruption, or other catastrophes.” They were also instructed to immediately report lost or stolen devices and suspicious emails, links, ads, or email attachments to the SC Management Information System Office “to prevent data leak and to maintain a safe online environment.”
