Information assurance personnel enforce integrity by preventing the authorized modification of the data a system processes, stores, and transmits.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not sure
• D. Partly

Answer: (B)

Integrity means keeping data accurate and trustworthy, with changes happening only through approved, authorized processes. Information assurance personnel apply controls—such as change management, access control, and integrity checks—to prevent any modification that isn’t authorized, ensuring data that a system processes, stores, or transmits remains intact. So the statement reflects this goal and is true: only authorized modifications are permitted, while unauthorized ones are stopped.
