Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 84

Which of the following would an IS auditor consider the GREATEST risk associated with a mobile workforce environment?

Answer options

• A. Loss or damage to the organization's assets
• B. Lack of compliance with organizational policies
• C. Decrease in employee productivity and accountability
• D. Inability to access data remotely

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The greatest risk in a mobile workforce environment is the potential for loss or damage to the organization's assets, as mobile devices are more susceptible to theft and security breaches. While compliance, productivity, and remote access are important concerns, they do not pose as immediate and direct a threat to the organization's physical and informational assets as the risk of loss or damage.
