Question 240
During a routine controls assessment at a regional hospital, the IS auditor learns that an app requests sensitive customer fields unrelated to the stated service purpose. The affected operation supports patient-care scheduling and claims processing. Healthcare service continuity and protected records are at stake. Which evidence would BEST support a conclusion that the exposure has been addressed?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct. Approved purpose inventories and sampled rights requests, deletion actions and processor reviews demonstrate privacy requirements operate end to end. This is stronger than a manager's verbal assurance because it can be checked against the observed issue that an app requests sensitive customer fields unrelated to the stated service purpose. The reviewer must verify the remediation period and scope.
