An organization has recently installed a security patch, which crashed the production server. To minimize the probability of this occurring again, an IS auditor should:
A.
apply the patch according to the patch’s release notes.
B.
ensure that a good change management process is in place.
C.
thoroughly test the patch before sending it to production.
D.
approve the patch after doing a risk assessment.
Explanation:
An IS auditor must review the change management process, including patch management procedures, and verify that the process has adequate controls and make suggestions accordingly. The other choices are part of a good change management process but arenot an IS auditor’s responsibility.
