CISA-CN Exam Question 596
下列哪一項最能顯示資訊安全意識計畫是有效的?
Correct Answer: B
The success rate of social engineering attacks directly measures the behavioral changes resulting from an information security awareness program. Employees who are aware and informed are better equipped to identify and thwart such attacks.
* Reduction in Reported Incidents (Option A):This may indicate underreporting rather than program effectiveness.
* Reduction in Cost of Maintaining the Program (Option C):This reflects cost efficiency, not program effectiveness.
* Reduction in Number of Attacks (Option D):The number of attacks is beyond the control of awareness programs and does not reflect their impact.

CISA-CN Exam Question 597
一家銀行希望將一個系統外包給位於另一個國家的雲端服務供應商。下列何者是最適當的IS審計建議?
Correct Answer: C
A post-implementation review (PIR) is a process to evaluatewhether the objectives of the project were met, determine how effectively this wasachieved, learn lessons for the future, and ensure that the organisation gets the most benefit from the implementation of projects1. A PIR is an important tool for assessing the success and value of a project, as well as identifying the areas for improvement and best practices for future projects.
One of the key elements of a PIR is to measure the benefits of the project against the expected outcomes and benefits that were defined at the beginning of the project. Measurable benefits are the quantifiable and verifiable results or outcomes that the project delivers to theorganisation or its stakeholders, such as increased revenue, reduced costs, improved quality, enhanced customer satisfaction, or compliance with regulations2.
Measurable benefits should be aligned with the organisation's strategy, vision, and goals, and should be SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound).
The finding that measurable benefits were not defined is of greatest significance among the four findings, because it implies that:
The project did not have a clear and agreed-upon purpose, scope, objectives, and deliverables The project did not have a valid and realistic business case or justification for its initiation and implementation The project did not have a robust and effective monitoring and evaluation mechanism to track its progress, performance, and impact The project did not have a reliable and transparent way to demonstrate its value proposition and return on investment to the organisation or its stakeholders The project did not have a meaningful and actionable way to learn from its achievements and challenges, and to improve its processes and practices Therefore, an IS auditor should recommend that measurable benefits are defined for any project before its implementation, and that they are reviewed and reported regularly during and after the project's completion.
The other possible findings are:
A lessons-learned session was never conducted: This is a significant finding, but not as significant as the lack of measurable benefits. A lessons-learned session is a process of capturing and documenting the knowledge, experience, and feedback gained from a project, both positive and negative. A lessons-learned session helps to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the project management process, as well as the best practices and lessons for future projects. A lessons-learned session should be conducted at the end of each projectphase or milestone, as well as at the end of the project. However, even without a formal lessons-learned session, some learning may still occur informally or implicitly among the project team members or stakeholders.
The projects 10% budget overrun was not reported to senior management: This is a significant finding, but not as significant as the lack of measurable benefits. A budget overrun is a situation where the actual cost of a project exceeds its planned or estimated cost. A budget overrun may indicate poor planning, estimation, or control of the project resources, or unexpected changes or risks that occurred during the project implementation. A budget overrun should be reported to senior management as soon as possible, along with the reasons for it and the corrective actions taken or proposed. However, a budget overrun may not necessarily affect the quality or value of the project deliverables or outcomes if they are still within acceptable standards or expectations.
Monthly dashboards did not always contain deliverables: This is a significant finding, but not as significant as the lack of measurable benefits. A dashboard is a visual tool that displays key performance indicators (KPIs) or metrics related to a project's progress, status, or results. A dashboard helps to monitor and communicate the performance of a project to various stakeholders in a concise and clear manner. A dashboard should include deliverables as one of its components, along with other elements such as schedule, budget, quality, risks, issues, or benefits. However, even without deliverables in monthly dashboards, some information about them may still be available from other sources such as reports or documents.

CISA-CN Exam Question 598
下列哪一項控制措施最能確保應付帳款部門內部職責的適當分離?
Correct Answer: D
Segregation of duties (SoD) is a key internal control that aims to prevent fraud and errors by ensuring that no single individual can perform incompatible or conflicting tasks within a business process. SoD reduces the risk of unauthorized or improper transactions, manipulation of data, or misappropriation of assets.
In the accounts payable department, SoD involves separating the following functions: invoice processing, payment authorization, payment execution, and reconciliation. For example, the person who approves an invoice should not be the same person who issues the payment or reconciles the bank statement.
One of the best ways to ensure appropriate SoD within the accounts payable department is to restrict program functionality according to user security profiles. This means that each user of the accounts payable system should have a unique login and password, and should only have access to the functions that are relevant to their role and responsibilities. For instance, an invoice processor should not be able to approve payments or modify vendor records. This way, the system can enforce SoD and prevent unauthorized or fraudulent activities.
The other options are not as effective as restricting program functionality according to user security profiles.
Restricting access to update programs to accounts payable staff only is a general access control measure, but it does not address the SoD issue within the accounts payable department. Including the creator's user ID as a field in every transaction record created is a useful audit trail feature, but it does not prevent users from performing incompatible functions. Ensuring that audit trails exist for transactions is a detective control that can help identify and investigate any irregularities, but it does not prevent them from occurring in the first place.

CISA-CN Exam Question 599
下列哪一項是降低組織網路因自帶設備 (BYOD) 政策允許的設備而面臨的風險的最佳方法?
Correct Answer: D
The best way to mitigate risk to an organization's network associated with devices permitted under a BYOD policy is to implement a network access control system, as this will allow the organization to monitor, authenticate, and authorize the devices that connect to the network, and to enforce security policies and compliance requirements12. A network access control system can help to prevent unauthorized or compromised devices from accessing sensitive data or resources, and to detect and isolate any potential threats or vulnerabilities34.

CISA-CN Exam Question 600
容量管理使組織能夠:
Correct Answer: C
Capacity management is a process that ensures that the IT resources of an organization are sufficient to meet the current and future demands of the business. Capacity management enables organizations to identify the extent to which components need to be upgraded, by monitoring and analyzing the performance, utilization, and availability of the IT components, such as servers, networks, storage, applications, etc., and identifying any bottlenecks, gaps, or risks that may affect the service level agreements (SLAs) or quality of service (QoS). Capacity management also helps organizations to plan and optimize the use of IT resources, by forecasting the future demand and growth of the business, and aligning the IT capacity with the business needs and objectives. Forecasting technology trends is a possible outcome of capacity management, but it is not its main purpose. Establishing the capacity of network communication links is a part of capacity management, but it is not its main goal. Determining business transaction volumes is an input for capacity management, but it is not its main objective.
