Security Control Effectiveness refers to the capability of a security control to achieve its intended purpose of protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information systems and data. It measures how well a security control mitigates or reduces risks to an acceptable level. A control is considered effective when it successfully prevents, detects, or responds to security incidents and threats as designed.
