Which of the following should be PRIMARILY considered while designing information systems controls?

  1. The IT strategic plan
  2. The existing IT environment
  3. The organizational strategic plan
  4. The present IT budget

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Review of the enterprise's strategic plan is the first step in designing effective IS controls that would fit the enterprise's long-term plans.

Incorrect Answers:
A: The IT strategic plan exists to support the enterprise's strategic plan but is not solely considered while designing information system control.

B: Review of the existing IT environment is also useful and necessary but is not the first step that needs to be undertaken.

D: The present IT budget is just one of the components of the strategic plan.



Which of the following is the MOST effective inhibitor of relevant and efficient communication?

  1. A false sense of confidence at the top on the degree of actual exposure related to IT and lack of a well- understood direction for risk management from the top down
  2. The perception that the enterprise is trying to cover up known risk from stakeholders
  3. Existence of a blame culture
  4. Misalignment between real risk appetite and translation into policies

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Blame culture should be avoided. It is the most effective inhibitor of relevant and efficient communication. In a blame culture, business units tend to point the finger at IT when projects are not delivered on time or do not meet expectations. In doing so, they fail to realize how the business unit's involvement up front affects project success. In extreme cases, the business unit may assign blame for a failure to meet the expectations that the unit never clearly communicated. Executive leadership must identify and quickly control a blame culture if collaboration is to be fostered throughout the enterprise.

Incorrect Answers:
A: This is the consequence of poor risk communication, not the inhibitor of effective communication.

B: This is the consequence of poor risk communication, not the inhibitor of effective communication.

D: Misalignment between real risk appetite and translation into policies is an inhibitor of effective communication, but is not a prominent as existence of blame culture.



You and your project team are identifying the risks that may exist within your project. Some of the risks are small risks that won't affect your project much if they happen. What should you do with these identified risk events?

  1. These risks can be dismissed.
  2. These risks can be accepted.
  3. These risks can be added to a low priority risk watch list.
  4. All risks must have a valid, documented risk response.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Low-impact, low-probability risks can be added to the low priority risk watch list. Incorrect Answers:
A: These risks are not dismissed; they are still documented on the low priority risk watch list.

B: While these risks may be accepted, they should be documented on the low priority risk watch list. This list will be periodically reviewed and the status of the risks may change.

D: Not every risk demands a risk response, so this choice is incorrect.



You are the project manager of your enterprise. You have introduced an intrusion detection system for the control. You have identified a warning of violation of security policies of your enterprise. What type of control is an intrusion detection system (IDS)?

  1. Detective
  2. Corrective
  3. Preventative
  4. Recovery

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a device or software application that monitors network and/or system activities for malicious activities or policy violations and produces reports to a Management Station. Some systems may attempt to stop an intrusion attempt but this is neither required nor expected of a monitoring system. Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) are primarily focused on identifying possible incidents, logging information about them, and reporting attempts. In addition, organizations use IDPS for other purposes, such as identifying problems with security policies, documenting existing threats, and deterring individuals from violating security policies.

As IDS detects and gives warning when the violation of security policies of the enterprise occurs, it is a detective control.

Incorrect Answers:
B: These controls make effort to reduce the impact of a threat from problems discovered by detective controls. As IDS only detects but not reduce the impact, hence it is not a corrective control.

C: As IDS only detects the problem when it occurs and not prior of its occurrence, it is not preventive control.

D: These controls make efforts to overcome the impact of the incident on the business, hence IDS is not a recovery control.
