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?
