Question 390
During a payment-platform modernization at a payment clearing organization, the IS auditor learns that a load test runs only with tiny synthetic volumes despite forecast peak demand. The affected operation supports merchant settlement and reconciliation. Finance and settlement integrity depend on this operation. Which follow-up result would BEST substantiate that the remediation operates effectively?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct. Signed acceptance criteria and independent failed-case retests demonstrate the production release can meet material business and control needs. This is stronger than a manager's verbal assurance because it can be checked against the observed issue that a load test runs only with tiny synthetic volumes despite forecast peak demand. The reviewer must verify the remediation period and scope.
