I have a few questions:-

1. Was there no data backup procedures in place? I understand a million
passport applications have vaporized.
2. Does the government have comprehensive strategies in place to ensure
that mission critical applications and data are secure?
3. What are the strategies in place to ensure business continuity in key
government installations and functions?
