Attributable
The property of being able to identify who, or which system, performed a recorded action or change, and when.
Details
Attributability lets the responsibility for, and the time order of, data creation, modification, and deletion be reconstructed. Inspections cite shared IDs, signing on behalf of someone else, undated corrections, and automatically generated data whose source cannot be identified. Check signatures and user accounts, time synchronisation, audit trails, and the controls over record correction and electronic signatures.
