The IS auditor learns that when equipment was brought into
the data center by a vendor, the emergency power shutoff
switch was accidentally pressed and the UPS was engaged.
Which of the following audit recommendations should the IS
auditor suggest?
A. Relocate the shut off switch.
B. Install protective covers.
C. Escort visitors.
D. Log environmental failures.

Answer: B
A protective cover over the switch would allow it to be
accessible and visible, but would prevent accidental
activation. Relocating the shut off switch would defeat the
purpose of having it readily accessible. Escorting the
personnel moving the equipment may not have prevented this
incident and logging of environmental failures would provide
management with a report of incidents, but reporting alone
would not prevent a reoccurrence.
