Your companys security director calls a meeting to stress the importance of data integrity within the company. There is a concern because of several violations that have been noticed lately. Of the examples below, which would not be considered an integrity violation?
A.
An unauthorized analyst performing a cost analysis on classified information
B.
An unauthorized data processor making changes to a protected database
C.
An operations technician making a change to a mainframe configuration setting by accident
D.
A senior IT analyst making deliberate and unauthorized changes to user accounts
Explanation:
An analyst performing an unauthorized task is a problem, but it jeopardizes the
confidentiality of the data, not the integrity of the data. As long as the employee
is not making changes to the data, the integrity remains intact. All of the other
examples represent instances where data has been altered.
