true The primary purpose of integrity controls is not to track external activity. Integrity controls are security measures implemented to ensure the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of data and information within a system. They are designed to prevent unauthorized modifications, alterations, or corruption of data. Integrity controls help maintain the integrity of data by protecting it from unauthorized changes, whether they are caused by external threats or internal errors or malfunctions. These controls typically involve mechanisms such as data validation, checksums, digital signatures, access controls, and audit trails to detect and prevent unauthorized modifications and ensure the integrity of the system and its data. While integrity controls may have the capability to track and log activities for auditing purposes, tracking external activity is not their primary purpose.
