Question 650
During a regulatory readiness review at a municipal government, the IS auditor learns that a supplier dependency is omitted from the business continuity exercise. 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. Review plan currency, contact paths, alternate processes and cross-party exercises with measurable success criteria.

A defensible IS audit conclusion requires relevant and reliable evidence from the actual control population and period.
