Reliability

For example, a medical record that becomes dissociated from the patient it refers to become unreliable.

Integrity
Integrity to correspondence of data with itself, at its creation. Data lacks integrity when it has been changed accidentally or tampered with.
For example, a hacker might change driver license data resulting in arrests of innocent people.
