[Q] Can root, custom ROM and recovery manipulate /efs partition?

I was wondering if root, custom ROMs, kernels and recovery could alter in any way the /efs partition or other internal partitions itself, without user knowledge. Like changing permission to files, changing values etc...

How can I be sure that my internal partition are untouched?
