Explanation

The Clark-Wilson integrity model was specifically designed to address how authorized users interact with data, targeting three goals: (1) preventing authorized users from making unauthorized or unintentional modifications, (2) preventing authorized users from making improper modifications through well-formed transactions, and (3) maintaining internal and external consistency. Preventing modification by unauthorized users (A) is a general access control goal addressed by models like Bell-LaPadula - it is NOT one of Clark-Wilson's specific three integrity goals. Clark-Wilson assumes access control handles unauthorized users and focuses on ensuring authorized users follow proper procedures.
