Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) are the three core principles that form the foundation of information security. Confidentiality ensures that information is not disclosed to unauthorized individuals, entities, or processes. Integrity maintains the consistency, accuracy, and trustworthiness of data over its entire lifecycle. While Availability Management's primary focus is on the "Availability" component (ensuring systems are operational and accessible when needed), it operates within the broader framework of Security. Therefore, Confidentiality and Integrity are fundamental elements of Security, which provides the context for Availability Management.

A. Reliability: This is a measure of a system's ability to perform its function without failure over time. It is a key input to availability but does not encompass data confidentiality or integrity.

B. Serviceability: This refers to the ease and speed with which a system can be repaired or maintained. It is a component of availability, not a broader concept that includes confidentiality.

D. Maintainability: This relates to the ease of modifying a system to correct faults or improve performance. It supports long-term availability but is distinct from data security principles.

1. ISO/IEC 27000:2018, Information technology — Security techniques — Information security management systems — Overview and vocabulary.

Section 3.28: Defines "information security" as the "preservation of confidentiality, integrity and availability of information." This standard explicitly establishes the CIA triad as the components of information security.

Section 3.7 & 3.29: Define "confidentiality" and "integrity" as properties of information, which are preserved by information security.

Section: "Foundational Principles": States, "The Purdue University Information Security and Privacy Program is built on the foundational principles of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA)." This university resource confirms the CIA triad as the basis for security programs.
