T 5.17 Threat posed by external staff during
maintenance work
An IT system can be manipulated in any way during maintenance work. The
threat is primarily due to the fact that the owner is often not able to understand
and follow the effected modifications. Moreover, an external maintenance
engineer, just like an internal one, usually also has access to all data stored in
the system.
