I have also been looking for guidance on this issue and can't seem to
find any. Our ICT department is constantly being asked to copy live
database information into test systems for training and testing
purposes. I am not comfortable with this but because I don't have a
sound basis to refuse the practice continues.
Any advice or support would be appreciated.
