Isaca COBIT-Design-and-Implementation Exam - Topic 1 Question 30 Discussion

Actual exam question for Isaca's COBIT-Design-and-Implementation exam
Question #: 30
Topic #: 1
[All COBIT-Design-and-Implementation Questions]

Which of the following is the MOST likely trigger event for an EGIT improvement or implementation program?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

According to COBIT 2019 Implementation Guide:

'Trigger events for initiating or improving EGIT include regulatory noncompliance, significant operational failures, or events that expose governance weaknesses.'

Being fined for failing privacy regulations clearly exposes governance and compliance gaps---prompting the need to implement or improve EGIT to avoid future regulatory or reputational damage.

Totally agree, B is a wake-up call for sure!

I think A could also be a big motivator.

I'm going with B. Nothing gets an organization's attention like a big fat fine for non-compliance.

Haha, the marketing department going rogue with IT? That's a recipe for disaster! I'd go with D as well.

D seems like the most likely trigger. When the marketing department goes rogue with IT solutions, that's a clear sign EGIT needs to be addressed.

I think the answer is B. Failing to meet privacy regulations and getting heavily fined is a strong trigger for improving EGIT.

I recall discussing how independent IT solutions can lead to chaos, so D might also be a valid option. It’s tricky!

I feel like C could also be a trigger, but it seems less urgent compared to the fines in B. It’s hard to say for sure.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember a practice question where a merger was the main trigger for IT changes. Maybe A could be a strong contender too.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know EGIT is about aligning IT with business goals, but I'm not sure which of these scenarios would be the most likely trigger. I'll have to think it through carefully.

I'm leaning towards option A - the enterprise announcing a merger with a major competitor. That would be a huge organizational change that would likely require an EGIT overhaul to integrate the systems and processes.

I think option B might be the most likely trigger since failing to meet regulations usually forces companies to take immediate action.

Okay, I've got this. The most likely trigger would be option B - the enterprise failing to meet new privacy regulations and getting heavily fined. That's a major compliance issue that would force them to improve their EGIT.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I think it might be option D - the marketing department implementing their own IT solutions. That could definitely trigger an EGIT improvement program to regain control and alignment.

I'm not sure about this one. The question seems a bit tricky, and I'm not entirely familiar with EGIT concepts. I'll need to review my notes carefully.

I think option B makes the most sense. Fines usually prompt action.
