Question：Backing up computer files and storing copies of software in separate locations to the main system are examples of which type of controls?
A. Automated
B. Prevent
C. Detect
D. Correct
The correct answer is: Correct
Rationale: Correct controls are designed to enable the organisation to minimise the effect of errors: in this case, restoring data from the back-ups if the main data store is corrupted. Prevent controls are designed to prevent errors from happening in the first place, and detect controls are designed to detect errors once they have happened.
