AAdditional firewall rules

BMulti-factor authentication

CVirtual private network (VPN)

DVirtual desktop

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.

Virtual desktops sound interesting, but I wonder if they provide the same level of security as a VPN. I need to think this through more.

I feel like additional firewall rules might not be enough on their own. We practiced a question similar to this, and I think a VPN is more comprehensive.

Ah, this is a tricky one. I'm kind of torn between B and C. I know multi-factor authentication is important for remote access, but a VPN could also be a good solution. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons of each option.

Okay, let me see here. I'm leaning towards D - virtual desktop. That seems like it would provide the most secure remote access to corporate resources. But I'm not totally sure, so I'll have to double-check my notes.

I have a slight doubt about whether the instances could also not be attached to the Auto Scaling group. We definitely covered this in our study sessions, but I can't recall the specifics.

I feel pretty confident about this. The definition of a quality audit observation as "a noted item of objective evidence found during an audit" seems to be the most accurate and comprehensive option.
