Based on best practices and ISACA standards, the MOST important control to have in place in this scenario would be: A. An overarching approval is obtained from the change advisory board. Implementing an overarching approval process from the change advisory board ensures that changes, even if they are scheduled and recurring, are reviewed and approved by appropriate stakeholders. This helps maintain accountability, oversight, and alignment with organizational policies and objectives. While other controls such as user acceptance testing (option B), individual approvals (option C), and exception reporting (option D) are valuable, obtaining approval from the change advisory board ensures a comprehensive review and oversight of the changes, mitigating risks associated with unmanaged modifications to critical database tables.
