A. A user can test program output by checking the program input and comparing it

with the system output. This task, although usually done by the programmer, can

also be done effectively by the user.




B. System configuration is usually too technical to be accomplished by a user and

this situation could create security issues. This could introduce a segregation of

duties issue.




C. Program logic specification is a very technical task that is normally performed

by a programmer. This could introduce a segregation of duties issue.




D. Performance tuning also requires high levels of technical skill and will not be

effectively accomplished by a user. This could introduce a segregation of duties

issue.




An IS auditor is reviewing system development for a health care organization with

two application environments—production and test. During an interview, the

Select an answer:

The test environment may not have adequate controls to ensure data accuracy.




B.

The test environment may produce inaccurate results due to use of production

data.




C.

Hardware in the test environment may not be identical to the production

environment.




D.

The test environment may not have adequate access controls implemented to

ensure data confidentiality.

✓ :~~ You are correct, the answer is D.




A. The accuracy of data used in the test environment is not of significant concern

as long as these data are representative of the production environment.




B. Using production data in the test environment would not cause test results to be

inaccurate. If anything, using production data would improve the accuracy of

testing processes because the data would most closely mirror the production

environment. In spite of that fact, the risk of data disclosure or unauthorized

access in the test environment is still significant and, as a result, production data

should not be used in the test environment. This is especially important in a health

care organization where patient data confidentiality is critical and privacy laws in

many countries impose strict penalties on misuse of these data.




C. Hardware in the test environment should mirror the production environment to

ensure that testing is reliable. However, this does not relate to the risk from using

live data in a test environment. This is not the correct answer because it does not

relate to the risk presented in the scenario.




D. In many cases, the test environment is not configured with the same access

controls that are enabled in the production environment. For example,

programmers may have privileged access to the test environment (for testing), but

not to the production environment. If the test environment does not have

adequate access control, the production data are subject to risk of unauthorized

access and/or data disclosure. This is the most significant risk of the choices

listed.




The IS auditor is reviewing a recently completed conversion to a new enterprise

resource planning (ERP) system. As the final stage of the conversion process, the

organization ran the old and new systems in parallel for 30 days before allowing

the new system to run on its own. What is the MOST significant advantage to the

organization by using this strategy?
