CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 506

An organization has a new regulatory requirement to implement corrective controls on a financial system. Which of the following is the most likely reason for the new requirement?

Answer options

• A. To defend against insider threats altering banking details
• B. To ensure that errors are not passed to other systems
• C. To allow for business insurance to be purchased
• D. To prevent unauthorized changes to financial data

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the implementation of corrective controls aims to ensure that any errors in the financial system are corrected and do not propagate to other systems, thereby maintaining data integrity. Option A, while relevant to security, focuses on insider threats rather than error correction. Option C is unrelated to the immediate purpose of corrective controls, and option D, although important, emphasizes prevention rather than correction of errors.
