Question 840
During an outsourced-services renewal at a logistics group, the IS auditor learns that a web app accepts unsanitized input despite a known injection exposure. The affected operation supports freight tracking and fleet operations. Delivery commitments and partner data flow through this process. Management states that remediation is complete. Which evidence BEST supports closing this issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct. Threat-driven test results show identified entry paths are blocked or monitored and accountable risks are remediated. This is stronger than a manager's verbal assurance because it can be checked against the observed issue that a web app accepts unsanitized input despite a known injection exposure. The reviewer must verify the remediation period and scope.
