Preventive controls are generally more cost-efficient than detective controls.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Preventive controls are designed to stop problems before they occur, while detective controls are designed to find problems that have already occurred. Because preventive controls are implemented before an issue occurs, they are generally less expensive than waiting for an issue to occur and implementing a detective control. Therefore, preventive controls are generally more cost-efficient than detective controls.
