[All CISA Questions]

A national bank recently migrated a large number of business-critical applications to the cloud. Which of the following is MOST important to ensuring the resiliency of the applications?

ANegotiating a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) with the provider

BConducting periodic system stress testing

CCreating restore points for critical applications

DUsing a monitoring tool to assess uptime

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The most appropriate IS audit recommendation for a bank that wants to outsource a system to a cloud provider residing in another country is to ensure the provider's internal control system meets bank requirements. This is because the cloud provider will be handling the bank's data, so it is important to ensure that the provider has appropriate controls in place to protect the data and to ensure its integrity. Additionally, the provider should have policies and procedures in place to ensure the security and privacy of the data, as well as to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. For more information, please refer to the ISACA CISA Study Guide section 4.13.2.2.

I vaguely recall that negotiating an NDA is more about security than resiliency. I think it’s not the most important factor here.

I feel like using a monitoring tool to assess uptime is important, but I wonder if it’s enough on its own to ensure resiliency.

I remember we discussed the importance of having restore points for critical applications during our cloud migration case studies. It seems like a solid choice.

Okay, let's see. I think the key here is ensuring the applications can withstand any issues or disruptions. So I'm leaning towards B as well - stress testing seems like the best way to do that.

Option D sounds promising, but I'm not totally confident. As widgets are added to the form, the underlying XSD is updated automatically? That seems like the most relevant detail to the "data-first approach" mentioned in the question.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the DataRaptor actions are related to Salesforce, but I'm not sure which ones can actually retrieve data. I'll have to think this through carefully.
