Answer: C
It is the business unit management's responsibility to
implement cost effective controls in an automated system.
They are the best group in an organization to know which
information assets need to be secured in terms of
availability, confidentiality and integrity. System
administrators take care of services related to the system
requirements of the user management group. The quality
assurance function addresses the overall quality of the
systems. The audit group will assess or examine the
compliance level of the controls with written policies,
procedures or practices.
