Question 630
During a routine controls assessment at a regional hospital, the IS auditor learns that a backup dashboard reports success but no one has restored a complete application. 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. Recorded restore exercises recover consistent business transactions from protected copies within approved time and loss limits. This is stronger than a manager's verbal assurance because it can be checked against the observed issue that a backup dashboard reports success but no one has restored a complete application. The reviewer must verify the remediation period and scope.
