Question 870
During an outsourced-services renewal at a logistics group, the IS auditor learns that the SOC reports alerts closed without confirming investigation quality. The affected operation supports freight tracking and fleet operations. Delivery commitments and partner data flow through this process. Which evidence would BEST support a conclusion that the exposure has been addressed?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct. Controlled detections and case reviews show significant events are logged, prioritized and escalated within approved windows. This is stronger than a manager's verbal assurance because it can be checked against the observed issue that the SOC reports alerts closed without confirming investigation quality. The reviewer must verify the remediation period and scope.
Incorrect Answers

Not the strongest closure evidence for this case. It does not establish the requested evidence appropriate to the audit conclusion outcome.
