Explanation:
Applications (software, computer programs) must work reliably, which means that they have consistent intended behaviour and results. A program that causes errors, allows data to be lost, or enables unauthorized persons to make changes or misuse information, could result in a significant risk for an organization. Application systems and applications that have been developed for the user should incorporate suitable protective measures. Such protective measures concern the validation of the data that is entered, the internal processing and the output data. This means that the information has to be entered in such a manner that the data can be checked to see whether it is correct.
