An employee in the administrative department of Smiths Consultants Inc. finds out that the expiry date of a contract with one of the clients is earlier than the start date. What type of measure could prevent this error?
The issue described—where the expiry date of a contract is earlier than the start date—indicates a problem with data integrity. Data integrity measures aim to ensure the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of information. In this case, a control such as input validation or automated checks could have prevented the error.
How other options compare:
A. Availability measure: Availability measures ensure that information is accessible when needed. This does not address the accuracy of the contract data.
C. Organizational measure: Organizational measures involve policies, procedures, and training but may not directly address errors in data entry or logic.
D. Technical measure: While technical measures (e.g., automated tools) might implement the integrity controls, the focus here is on the nature of the error, which is related to data integrity.
Applications (software, computer programs) must work reliably, which means that they have consistent intended behaviour and results. A program that causes errors, allows data to be lost, or enables unauthorized persons to make changes or misuse information, could result in a significant risk for an organization. Application systems and applications that have been developed for the user should incorporate suitable protective measures. Such protective measures concern the validation of the data that is entered, the internal processing and the output data. This means that the information has to be entered in such a manner that the data can be checked to see whether it is correct.
In the question they didn´t metion nothing aboyt a system. The "employee" just found that information so they need to prevent the "Integrity measure" answer should be B.
