Integrated summary: Security Principles, Risk and Professional Conduct
For each case, identify the asset, actor, action and observed effect; do not replace confidentiality, integrity or availability analysis with the word 'breach.' Authentication establishes account identity within its evidence, authorization decides an operation on a resource, and accounting records the request and result. On a stated likelihood-impact scale from 1 to 3, name the assumptions: 2×3=6 and 1×3=3 are ordinal rankings, not monetary loss. Treatment does not automatically eliminate risk; identify owner, verification evidence, due date and residual risk. Policy states intent, procedure lays out steps, and an execution record shows what happened. Administrative, technical and physical controls complement one another, but a locked door cannot fix a shared administrator identity. In an ethical report, separate observation from assumed cause. Do not conceal a proven effect under management pressure or distribute raw data without need. A good exam decision uses the supplied facts and changes when evidence or authority changes.
