ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
During an internal audit, you discover that electronic contract approvals lack time stamps and digital signatures, making it impossible to prove which manager actually approved each document. Which fundamental security concept is primarily jeopardized by this weakness?
Digital signatures and time stamps provide irrefutable evidence that a specific individual performed an action, preventing them from later denying it. This is the essence of non-repudiation. Integrity concerns data accuracy, confidentiality protects against unauthorized disclosure, and availability focuses on timely access; none of these directly address the ability to prove authorship or action.
