Question 220
During an outsourced-services renewal at a logistics group, the IS auditor learns that legacy technology is renewed despite an adopted enterprise modernization roadmap. The affected operation supports freight tracking and fleet operations. Delivery commitments and partner data flow through this process. Which consequence would MOST directly follow if this weakness remains unresolved?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct. Uncontrolled design divergence can generate integration, security, technical debt and strategic alignment risks. The described exception is: legacy technology is renewed despite an adopted enterprise modernization roadmap. This risk ties the observation to the business significance of freight tracking and fleet operations, rather than treating management's claim as independent assurance.
Incorrect Answers
Unclear data accountability or classification can lead to inaccurate decisions and inappropriate information access. The configuration must instead establish evidence appropriate to the audit conclusion.
Misleading or poorly governed measures can conceal material service risk and distort decisions. The evidence appropriate to the audit conclusion prerequisite remains unaddressed.
Personal information may be used or retained without appropriate purpose, transparency, authority and enforceable safeguards. That change would not implement evidence appropriate to the audit conclusion.
