During a security-awareness briefing, management asks for a concrete example of a detective administrative control that helps safeguard the integrity of the company's financial data. Which of the following practices best meets that description?
Locking the accounting department's offices after business hours
Performing quarterly independent audits of all transaction logs
Implementing role-based access control on the accounting application
Requiring a two-person rule for authorizing wire transfers
Quarterly independent audits are written policies and procedures (therefore administrative) that review past activity to uncover irregularities. Because they identify events after they have taken place, audits are classified as detective controls and they directly support the integrity of financial records by verifying their accuracy.
Role-based access control and the two-person rule are preventive controls, even though the latter is administrative. Physically locking an office is a preventive physical control. None of these alternatives primarily function as detective administrative measures.
