Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) Part 3: Business Knowledge for Internal Auditing — Question 75

Which of the following describes a typical desktop workstation used by most employees in their daily work?

Answer options

• A. Workstation contains software that prevents unauthorized transmission of information into and out of the organization's network.
• B. Workstation contains software that controls information flow between the organization's network and the Internet.
• C. Workstation contains software that enables the processing of transactions and is not shared among users of the organization's network.
• D. Workstation contains software that manages user's access and processing of stored data on the organization's network.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is accurate because it highlights the role of software in managing user access and data processing within the organization's network. Options A and B focus on information transmission and flow control, which are less relevant to the everyday workstation's primary function. Option C describes transaction processing software that is not typically shared, which does not align with the common characteristics of a desktop workstation used by most employees.
