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.

Wait, are NDAs really that important for resiliency?

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'm not entirely sure, but I think conducting periodic system stress testing could help identify weaknesses. It might be crucial for resiliency too.

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.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I was considering D - using a monitoring tool to assess uptime, but now I'm not so sure. I'll have to re-read the question carefully and think it through.

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.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is B - conducting periodic system stress testing. That seems like the most important thing to ensure the resiliency of the applications.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'm debating between B and C - creating restore points for critical applications. I'll have to think it through a bit more.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully analyze the information provided in the question and the image to determine the maximum bandwidth allocated to policer 2.

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.
