Question 680
During an outsourced-services renewal at a logistics group, the IS auditor learns that framework control mappings are never updated after a significant architecture change. The affected operation supports freight tracking and fleet operations. Delivery commitments and partner data flow through this process. Which evidence-gathering approach is MOST aligned with the recorded exposure?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct. Trace selected risks through framework control objectives, accountable owners, implemented safeguards and monitoring results. The procedure directly tests the reported condition that framework control mappings are never updated after a significant architecture change. A defensible IS audit conclusion requires relevant and reliable evidence from the actual control population and period.
