If a content management system (CMC) is implemented, which one of the following would occur?

CMC controls and audits changes to production but does not necessarily revoke developer access; access control is a separate security function managed through IAM and least-privilege policies.

CMC ensures consistency and controlled deployment of software, but it does not guarantee the applications themselves are secure; security must be built into the development and testing processes independently.

CMC provides a structured process for approving and tracking changes, which often adds approval steps and can slow patching rather than accelerating it, as changes must go through a formal review cycle.

A content/configuration management system enforces version control and change control processes that ensure code promoted from test to production is identical, guaranteeing parity between environments. This is a core function of CMC: tracking and controlling software configurations so that what is tested is exactly what is deployed. This eliminates 'works in test but not in production' discrepancies caused by version mismatches.
