An infraction may be unintentional or inadvertent, and does not constitute a security violation; however, what could it lead to if left uncorrected?

In the context of security protocols and regulations, an infraction, even if unintentional or inadvertent, can lead to escalating security risks if it remains unaddressed. Specifically, such infractions can create vulnerabilities that may be exploited or may inadvertently contribute to a breach of security or a compromise of sensitive information.

By failing to correct these infractions, the initial oversight could snowball into more significant security issues that affect not just the individual involved but potentially the entire organization. Consequently, addressing minor infractions promptly is crucial to maintaining security integrity and preventing issues that could arise from neglect, such as unauthorized access or data leaks.

Observing and correcting these minor mistakes reinforces a culture of security vigilance, significantly reducing the risk of a true security violation or compromise occurring in the future.
