Database storage and hosting
The following guidelines on storage and hosting should be followed when implementing DBMS systems:

Database hosting location [Mandatory]
Database systems and applications should be hosted in the data hosting environment officially adopted by the Government as guided by RISA. The institution should ensure that they subscribe to a minimum hosting plan that includes daily backups and disaster recovery services.

Migration of critical database systems [Mandatory]
For critical database systems and applications hosted on premises, the government entity should immediately consult RISA to devise a road map for migration to the official Government hosting environment .

Non critical database systems [Recommended]
For other systems and applications deemed non-critical and kept on premises, entities are required to implement appropriate measures to secure them and to develop and follow an appropriate backup and recovery process
