CISA EXAM 1 QUESTIONS ANDANSWERS WITH SOLUTIONS 2024
1. An IS auditor should expect which of the following items to be included in the request for proposal
(RFP) when IS is procuring services from an independent service provider (ISP)?
A References from other customers
B Service level agreement (SLA) template
C Maintenance agreement
D Conversion plan - ANSWER The answer is A
An IS auditor should look for an independent verification that the ISP can perform the tasks being
contracted for. References from other customers would provide an independent, external review and
verification of procedures and processes the ISP follows—issues which would be of concern to an IS
auditor. Checking references is a means of obtaining an independent verification that the vendor can
perform the services it says it can. A maintenance agreement relates more to equipment than to
services,
and a conversion plan, while important, is less important than verification that the ISP can provide the
services they propose.
,2. To aid management in achieving IT and business alignment, an IS auditor should recommend the
use of:
A control self-assessments.
B a business impact analysis.
C an IT balanced scorecard.
D business process reengineering. - ANSWER The correct answer is C
An IT balanced scorecard (BSC) provides the bridge between IT objectives and business objectives by
supplementing the traditional financial evaluation with measures to evaluate customer satisfaction,
internal processes and the ability to innovate. Control self-assessment (CSA), business impact analysis
(BIA) and business process reengineering (BPR) are insufficient to align IT with organizational
objectives.

of:
A vulnerabilities.

outcome or result of a threat exploiting a vulnerability.

A having end-user responsibilities.
B reporting to the end-user manager.
C having programming responsibilities.
D being responsible for LAN security administration. - ANSWER The correct answer is C
A LAN administrator should not have programming responsibilities but may have end-user
responsibilities. The LAN administrator may report to the director of the IPF or, in a decentralized
operation, to the end-user manager. In small organizations, the LAN administrator may also be
responsible for security administration over the LAN.
