Answer: C
Choice A is incorrect because more than one person would
typically need to have a key to the vault to ensure that
individuals responsible for the offsite vault can take
vacations and rotate duties. Choice B is not correct because
the IS auditor would not be concerned whether paper
documents are stored in the offsite vault. In fact, paper
documents, such as procedural documents and a copy of the
contingency plan, most likely would be stored in the offsite
vault, and the location of the vault is important, but not
as important as the files being synchronized.
