I am concerned about the word "never". How can one guarantee the citizen, in the unlikely event of a cyber attack and breakthrough by an anonymous organisation, that there is some type of paper trail?

I shall return to my earlier point. I appreciate that the citizen does not use the technology. How can the organisation reassure us? I use credit cards for transactions and online transactions because I have confidence in the security of these systems. How can we convey confidence to somebody who does not engage in such transactions, perhaps people from an older generation? Is the process explained and guaranteed? Is there a backup or fallback in the unlikely event of a data cyber attack?
