Answer: B
Using separate conduits for data cables and electrical
cables, minimizes the risk of data corruption due to an
induced magnetic field created by electrical current. Data
encryption minimizes the risk of data leakage in case of
wire tapping, however it can not prevent corruption. A check
sum will help detect the data corruption during
communication, but will not prevent it. Using a star
topology, will increase the speed of communication, but will
not detect the corruption.

A PRIMARY benefit derived from an organization employing control self-assessment (CSA) techniques is that it: A. can identify high-risk areas that might need a detailed review later. B. allows IS auditors to independently assess risk. C. can be used as a replacement for traditional audits. D. allows management to relinquish responsibility for control.

At the end of the testing phase of software development, an IS auditor observes that an intermittent software error has not been corrected. No action has been taken to resolve the error. The IS auditor should: A. report the error as a finding and leave further exploration to the auditee's discretion. B. attempt to resolve the error. C. recommend that problem resolution be escalated.

An advantage of using sanitized live transactions in test data is that: A. all transaction types will be included. B. every error condition is likely to be tested. C. no special routines are required to assess the results. D. test transactions are representative of live processing.
A utility is available to update critical tables in case of data inconsistency. This utility can be executed at the OS prompt or as one of menu options in an application. The BEST control to mitigate the risk of unauthorized manipulation of data is to: A. delete the utility software and install it as and when required. B. provide access to utility on a need-to-use basis. C. provide access to utility to user management D. define access so that the utility can be only executed in menu option.
