ITPEC FE Morning April 2022 Question 59
ITPEC FE Morning April 2022 — Question 59 of 80
When applying a software patch, the key audit checkpoint is verifying that the system operates correctly before going into full production.
- •(d) is correct: the system's operation status must be properly checked before commencing full-time operations — this directly controls the risk of system trouble from a faulty patch.
Why not others:
- (a) Appointing a DBA and specifying data management procedures — relates to data governance, not patch risk control
- (b) Capacity planning procedures — addresses resource forecasting, not patch verification
- (c) Hardware maintenance records managed by sysadmins — concerns hardware tracking, not software patch validation
Key rule: Before any software patch goes live, the audit checkpoint is operational verification — confirm the system works correctly after patching, before full-time operations begin.
