Explanation:

as required, the mainframe is operating as it should, security is strong, and that procedures in
place are working and are updated as needed. The auditor may accordingly make
recommendations for improvement.
Which of the following types of audit always takes high priority over the others?
Security server audit always takes high priority because the security administrators who manage
this not only have elevated privilege, but also model and create the user passwords. Are proper
segregation of duties implemented and
enforced and is technology and procedures in place to make sure there is a continuous and
accurate audit trail?
