Answer: A
Reviewing the effectiveness and utilization of assets is not
within the purview of a security audit. Security audits
primarily focus on the evaluation of the policies and
procedures that ensure the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of data. During an audit of security the IS
auditor would normally review access to assets, and validate
the physical and environmental controls to the extent
necessary to satisfy the audit requirements. The IS auditor
would also review logical access policies and compare them
to job profiles to ensure that excessive access has not been
granted. The review also would include an evaluation of
asset safeguards and procedures to prevent unauthorized
access to assets.
