Three of the 1,823 questions in this pack

Question 1

Which of the following should be of GREATEST concern to an IS auditor reviewing an organization's business continuity plan (BCP)?

  1. The BCP has not been tested since it was first issued.
  2. The BCP is not version-controlled.
  3. The BCP's contact information needs to be updated.
  4. The BCP has not been approved by senior management.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. The BCP has not been tested since it was first issued.

An untested BCP is fundamentally unreliable and poses the greatest risk because it has never been validated to actually work during a real incident. Testing is critical to identifying gaps, clarifying procedures, and ensuring recovery objectives can be met. While version control, updated contact information, and management approval are all important, they are secondary to proving the plan actually functions when needed.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. Version control is a good practice but does not affect whether the BCP will actually work during a crisis.
  • C. Outdated contact information should be corrected, but this is a maintenance issue, not a fundamental validity concern.
  • D. Senior management approval is necessary for authority but does not validate that the plan will function effectively.

Question 2

Which of the following would be MOST useful when analyzing computer performance?

  1. Tuning of system software to optimize resource usage
  2. Operations report of user dissatisfaction with response time
  3. Statistical metrics measuring capacity utilization
  4. Report of off-peak utilization and response time ✅Correct Answer: C, Statistical metrics measuring capacity utilization Statistical metrics on capacity utilization give objective, quantifiable data across varied conditions and time periods, supporting trend analysis, bottleneck identification, and data-driven decisions. Subjective complaints and narrow off-peak reports offer only partial insight with no statistical basis. System tuning is an action taken after analysis, not an analysis tool.

Question 3

Which of the following is the GREATEST risk if two users have concurrent access to the same database record?

  1. Entity integrity
  2. Availability integrity
  3. Referential integrity
  4. Data integrity
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. Data integrity

When two users have concurrent access to the same database record without proper locking mechanisms, the greatest risk is data integrity, the loss or corruption of actual data values. This can result in lost updates, dirty reads, or inconsistent data states. Entity integrity, referential integrity, and availability integrity are all important, but data integrity is the broadest and most fundamental concern when concurrent modifications occur without proper synchronization controls.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Entity integrity (unique identification) is less threatened by concurrent access than data value integrity.
  • B. Availability integrity is not a standard integrity classification in database theory.
  • C. Referential integrity (foreign key relationships) is less directly threatened than the core data values themselves.

What makes the CISA hard

Every failed attempt costs the full fee again: US$575 for members, US$760 for non-members. The CISA is not an exam to cram through in a weekend. It requires five years of IS audit experience to be eligible, and covers five demanding domains across 150 questions in four hours.

Where the marks actually sit surprises people. Operations and business resilience, and protection of information assets, are 26% each, over half the exam between them, while acquisition, development and implementation is only 12%. Candidates who over invest in the SDLC material and skim operations pay for it.

ISACA’s answer style rewards an auditor’s independent, risk focused mindset over a technically correct but process blind option, and that is a skill built by seeing a lot of exam style questions. This pack gives 1823 of them.
