True
False
A security audit is a systematic evaluation of the security of a company's information system by measuring how well it conforms to a set of established criteria. It actively examines the organization’s security policies, procedures, and their implementation, and therefore it is a Detective Control because it is designed to detect and record unauthorized access or anomalies in system performance. It is not a Deterrent Control, which aims to discourage potential violations, typically through a visible presence or signs that a security process is in place.
