Understanding the types of databases being used within the organization provides essential context for planning the review. This includes identifying the databases' platforms, vendors, versions, and configurations. Such information is crucial for determining the scope of the review (Option A), as it helps the auditor understand the potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with each type of database.
