Which attribute is NOT part of CBM T6 data integrity?

• A. Accuracy
• B. Completeness
• C. Timeliness
• D. Traceability

Answer: (C)

Data integrity is about keeping data trustworthy: it must be accurate, complete, and traceable. Accuracy ensures the values reflect real-world facts, so errors don’t mislead decisions. Completeness means all required data is present, avoiding gaps that could distort analyses. Traceability lets you see where the data came from and how it was transformed, so you can verify its history and reliability. Timeliness, while important for having up-to-date information and fast access, relates to data quality regarding freshness rather than the core trustworthiness of the data itself. In the CBM T6 framework, timeliness isn’t treated as a core data integrity attribute, whereas accuracy, completeness, and traceability are.
