From what I studied, I think corruption is definitely the right answer. The focus on data security makes me think that's the biggest risk here.

I feel like manipulation could be a concern too, especially if the data isn't stored securely. But I lean more towards corruption given the context.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question that mentioned omission as a potential issue when there are multiple entries for the same information.

I think the main concern might be corruption since the CEO is worried about the consequences of data being stolen or corrupted.
