Posted by Nydia on May 12, 2026 at 07:06 AM

You have recently joined as a Network Auditor in Net Perfect Inc. The company has a Windows-based network. You have been assigned the

task to determine whether or not the company's goal is being achieved. As an auditor, which of the following tasks should you perform before

conducting the data center review?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose three.

Suggested Answer: B, C, D

The auditor should be adequately educated about the company and its critical business activities before conducting a data center review. The

objective of the data center is to align data center activities with the goals of the business while maintaining the security and integrity of

critical information and processes. To adequately determine if whether or not the client's goal is being achieved, the auditor should perform

the following before conducting the review:

Meet with IT management to determine possible areas of concern.

Review the current IT organization chart.

Review job descriptions of data center employees.

Research all operating systems, software applications, and data center equipment operating within the data center.

Review the company's IT policies and procedures.

Evaluate the company's IT budget and systems planning documentation.

Review the data center's disaster recovery plan.

Answer A is incorrect. An auditor should review the current organization chart. Reviewing the future organization chart would not help

in finding the current threats to the organization.
