Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 110

Which of the following methods would BEST ensure that IT strategy is in line with business strategy?

Answer options

• A. Break-even point analysis
• B. Business impact analysis (BIA)
• C. Critical path analysis
• D. IT value analysis

Correct answer: D

Explanation

IT value analysis is designed to assess how IT investments contribute to business goals, making it the best method for ensuring alignment. In contrast, break-even point analysis focuses on financial viability, business impact analysis assesses risks, and critical path analysis is used for project management, none of which directly ensure IT strategy aligns with business strategy.
