Explanation

Data integrity means ensuring that data is accurate, complete, and has not been improperly altered. The most direct way to monitor and ensure integrity is to log and review data modifications - recording who changed what, when, and from what prior value. This creates an auditable trail that can detect unauthorized or erroneous changes. Reviewing network access shows who connected to systems but not what they changed. Patch updates relate to system security, not data state. Reviewing data types is a schema-level activity that provides no insight into whether data values have been tampered with.
