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 - correct answers 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.

recommend the
use of:
A control self-assessments.
B a business impact analysis.

An IT balanced scorecard (BSC) provides the bridge between IT objectives and
business objectives by

business impact analysis
(BIA) and business process reengineering (BPR) are insufficient to align IT with
organizational
objectives.
