This Recommendation describes security vulnerabilities and establishes lifecycle management guidelines for telecommunication big data services. This Recommendation:

– introduces characteristics of telecommunication big data services and data categories;

– analyses security vulnerabilities of lifecycle management for telecommunication big data services;

– specifies security guidelines for data lifecycle management for telecommunication big data services.

When telecommunication operators provide big data services, the basic prerequisite is that the explicit consent of subscribers has been obtained. In addition, for telecommunication operators, provision of necessary data protection measures is recommended throughout the entire big data service process.

Protection mechanisms for various data categories lie outside the scope of this Recommendation.
