Question 210
During a routine controls assessment at a regional hospital, the IS auditor learns that two regions build incompatible identity platforms without an approved enterprise architecture review. The affected operation supports patient-care scheduling and claims processing. Healthcare service continuity and protected records are at stake. Management states that remediation is complete. Which evidence BEST supports closing this issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct. Approved design reviews and exception tracking show new systems align with target architecture or have justified remediable deviations. This is stronger than a manager's verbal assurance because it can be checked against the observed issue that two regions build incompatible identity platforms without an approved enterprise architecture review. The reviewer must verify the remediation period and scope.
