Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 1105

Which of the following is the BEST indication of effective governance over IT infrastructure?

Answer options

• A. A decrease in the number of information security incidents
• B. A requirement for annual security awareness programs
• C. The ability to deliver continuous, reliable performance
• D. An increase in the number of IT infrastructure servers

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, indicates that effective governance enables the IT infrastructure to consistently deliver reliable performance. While a decrease in security incidents (A) and annual training programs (B) are important, they do not directly reflect the overall effectiveness of governance in maintaining performance. An increase in servers (D) may not necessarily improve governance or performance.
