Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 798

When assessing a proposed project for the two-way replication of a customer database with a remote call center, the IS auditor should ensure that:

Answer options

• A. end users are trained in the replication process.
• B. the source database is backed up on both sites.
• C. user rights are identical on both databases.
• D. database conflicts are managed during replication.
