Question 440
During a regulatory readiness review at a municipal government, the IS auditor learns that a cluster is declared redundant although all nodes share one power source. The affected operation supports citizen service accounts and public records. Public accountability and essential service access are affected. During fieldwork, what is the BEST focused test of this condition?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct. Trace a sample of critical business services to actual compute, network, storage and supporting service components. The procedure directly tests the reported condition that a cluster is declared redundant although all nodes share one power source. A defensible IS audit conclusion requires relevant and reliable evidence from the actual control population and period.
