ITPEC FE Subject A April 2026 Question 45
ITPEC FE Subject A April 2026 — Question 45 of 60
Managing and maintaining the SLA level that defines downtime — availability is about the system being usable when required.
An audit checks availability by looking at whether agreed service levels for uptime and permitted downtime are defined, measured and met, along with the redundancy and recovery arrangements behind them.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- (a) Error checking for data entry — guards against inaccurate data, so it is a check on integrity
- (b) Database encryption — keeps data unreadable to unauthorized parties, a check on confidentiality
- (d) Prohibiting removal of external media — prevents data leaving the company, again confidentiality
Key rule: Map each control to one of the three properties: can the right people use it (availability), is it correct (integrity), can the wrong people see it (confidentiality).
