ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

While drafting the security plan for a new human-resources database that stores employee PII, the system owner insists the data must never be viewed by anyone lacking proper clearance, even if system performance is affected. Which security objective is the owner emphasizing, and why?

  • Non-repudiation - the goal is to ensure users cannot later deny that they accessed the records.

  • Confidentiality - the requirement is to prevent unauthorized disclosure of employee information.

  • Integrity - the emphasis is on ensuring employee records remain accurate and unaltered.

  • Availability - the concern is maintaining prompt access to the database for legitimate users.
