Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 102

The BEST indicator of an optimized quality management system (QMS) is that it:

Answer options

• A. is endorsed by senior management
• B. aligns with an industry recognized framework.
• C. is integrated and enforced in all IT activities.
• D. defines and monitors all IT QMS activities.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a quality management system that is integrated and enforced across all IT activities ensures consistency and effectiveness in processes. While endorsement from senior management (A), alignment with frameworks (B), and monitoring activities (D) are important, they do not guarantee that the QMS is actively utilized in day-to-day operations.
