OK, the most important thing to monitor is the master data base because if someone controls that they control the world.

Encryption would be useless. There are no secrets in your world so I know what all the encryption keys are, I know all your other safety precautions too.

I don't believe actual history is the only logical way things could have happened, half the time it doesn't seem logical at all.

I'll tell you what would be a very tough job, figuring out what I had changed and what I had not, and I'm only one man, millions if not billions would be doing the same thing, many just for fun. It would never stop and the data would become more and more unreliable.
