Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Access controls should apply to all terminals within the organization to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to production data. This will prevent unauthorized access, modification, or destruction of production data, which can greatly slow or halt production activity. The other options do not address the threat of the loss of production data effectively. Storing key master inventory and production order files on-site only may not prevent theft or damage from natural disasters, and may not provide easy access to authorized personnel. Backing up data files only after a production run has been physically completed may result in data loss if there is a system failure or other issue during the production run. Allowing access to inventory records from any terminal within the organization may increase the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.
