D. Accessibility quality

Three sub-dimensions of quality in COBIT 5 are as follows:

1. Intrinsic quality – The extent to which data values are in conformance with the actual or true values. It includes

Accuracy – The extent to which information is correct or accurate and reliable

Objectivity – The extent to which information is unbiased, unprejudiced and impartial.

Availability/timeliness – The extent to which information is available when required, or easily available when required, or easily and quickly retrievable.

Restricted Access – The extent to which access to information is restricted appropriately to authorize parties.

The following were incorrect answers:

Contextual and representational quality – The extent to which information is applicable to the task of the information user and is presented in an intelligible and clear manner, reorganizing that information quality depends on the context of use.
