Answer: A
System utilities may enable unauthorized changes to be made
to data on the client-server database. In an audit of
database security, the controls over such utilities would be
the primary concern of the IS auditor. Application program
generators are an intrinsic part of client-server
technology, and the IS auditor would evaluate the controls
over the generators access rights to the database rather
than their availability. Security documentation should be
restricted to authorized security staff, but this is not a
primary concern, nor is access to stored procedures.
