IT Essentials — Introduction to IT
Lyn: Hi Wendy. Preventive controls are designed to prevent an event from occurring in the first place.
Detective controls detect events as they happen or after they happen. Corrective controls reduce the
impact of an event or restore functionality once the event has happened.

Elina: So here, we want to see if the control parameters were determined, and how they were
determined, right?
Wendy: That’s exactly what we are looking for here, Elina.
