What can a natural disaster affect in terms of information availability?

Confidentiality protocols
Data integrity measures
System design and implementation
User authentication processes

The correct answer is: System design and implementation

A natural disaster can have significant implications for system design and implementation because it can disrupt infrastructure, damage hardware, and affect the overall deployment of systems. When a disaster occurs, it may lead to downtime, loss of access to critical systems, or even complete outages of data centers and network resources. Hence, organizations must design systems with resilience in mind, implementing backup strategies, failover mechanisms, and disaster recovery plans to ensure that even in the event of a disaster, services can be restored, and data can be accessed. Good system design also considers the physical location of servers and data centers, placing them in areas less prone to natural disasters, thus minimizing risks. While the other areas listed—confidentiality protocols, data integrity measures, and user authentication processes—are indeed important aspects of information security and IT governance, a natural disaster predominantly has a direct impact on the physical and structural side of system architecture rather than purely the protocols or measures themselves, making the design and implementation aspect the crucial focus in this context.
