Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 1439

An IS auditor should ensure that an application's audit trail:

Answer options

• A. has adequate security.
• B. is accessible online.
• C. does not impact operational efficiency.
• D. logs all database records.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because an application's audit trail must be secure to prevent unauthorized access or tampering, ensuring its integrity. While accessibility (B), operational efficiency (C), and logging all records (D) are important considerations, they do not directly address the critical need for security in the audit trail.
