Accessbility of data is the degree to which the user is able to access and use data.

• Accesibility involves ensuring that data is stored in a format that is compatible with the tools and applications that will be used to work with it.
• Accessibility also includes ensuring that appropriate permissions and security protocols are in place to control who has access to the data.

• Accessibility is a characteristic of data.
• Accessiblity is preceded by findability. You have to be able to find the data first, to know if they are accessible.
• Accessibility is one of the three aspects of data security next to confidentiality and integrity (CIA).
