What will be an ideal response?

The three primary goals of information security are data confidentiality, data integrity, and data availability. It is hard to imagine any aspect of information technology that has no responsibility for ensuring one or more of these three fundamental goals. Confidentiality is the prevention of intentional or unintentional disclosure of communications between a sender and recipient. Integrity ensures the accuracy and consistency of information during all processing (creation, storage, and transmission).  Availability is the assurance that authorized users can access resources in a reliable and timely manner.
