Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 615

Which of the following is the PRIMARY benefit of performing a maturity model assessment?

Answer options

• A. It identifies and fixes attribute weaknesses.
• B. It facilitates the execution of an improvement plan.
• C. It acts as a measuring tool and progress indicator.
• D. It ensures organizational consistency and improvement

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is accurate because a maturity model assessment provides a framework for measuring an organization's current state and tracking its progress over time. Options A and B, while relevant, focus on specific aspects of improvement rather than the overarching measurement and progress tracking. Option D emphasizes consistency and improvement but does not highlight the assessment's role as a measuring tool.
