Which of the following BEST enables the timely identification of risk exposure?
Correct Answer: C
Control self-assessment (CSA) is a technique that enables business managers and staff to assess and improve the effectiveness of their own controls and risk management processes. CSA can best enable the timely identification of risk exposure, as it allows for continuous monitoring and reporting of risks by those who are closest to the business processes and activities. External audit review, internal audit review, and stress testing are also useful methods for identifying risk exposure, but they are not as timely as CSA, as they are performed periodically or on demand by external or internal parties who may not have as much insight into the business operations and environment.

A hearth care organization utilizes Internet of Things (loT) devices to improve patient outcomes through real-time patient monitoring and advanced diagnostics. Which of the following would BEST assist in isolating these devices from corporate network traffic?
Correct Answer: A
nternal firewalls are highly effective for isolating Internet of Things (IoT) devices from corporate network traffic. By segmenting the network and restricting communication between devices and the main corporate infrastructure, internal firewalls help mitigate the risk of lateral movement and data breaches caused by compromised IoT devices.
Blockchain Technology (Option B):This is useful for ensuring data integrity but not for network isolation.
Content Filtering Proxy (Option C):This is designed to manage web traffic and does not provide network segmentation.
Zero Trust Architecture (Option D):While Zero Trust provides robust access controls, internal firewalls are more directly suited for traffic isolation.
An IT governance body wants to determine whether IT service delivery is based on consistently effective processes. Which of the following is the BEST approach?
Correct Answer: A
Which of the following BEST facilitates the legal process in the event of an incident?
Correct Answer: C
The best way to facilitate the legal process in the event of an incident is to preserve the chain of custody of the evidence. The chain of custody is a record of who handled, accessed, or modified the evidence, when, where, how, and why. The chain of custody helps to ensure the integrity, authenticity, and admissibility of the evidence in a court of law. The chain of custody also helps to prevent tampering, alteration, or loss of evidence that could compromise the investigation or the prosecution. References:

Which of the following provides the BEST providence that outsourced provider services are being properly managed?
Correct Answer: B
Adequate action taken for noncompliance with the service level agreement (SLA) provides the best evidence that outsourced provider services are being properly managed. This shows that the organization is monitoring the performance of the provider and enforcing the terms of the SLA.
The other options are not as convincing as evidence of proper management. Option A, the SLA includes penalties for non-performance, is a good practice but does not guarantee that the penalties are actually applied or that the performance is satisfactory. Option C, the vendor provides historical data to demonstrate its performance, is not reliable because the data may be biased or inaccurate. Option D, internal performance standards align with corporate strategy, is irrelevant to the question of outsourced provider management.
