Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 870

Answer options

• A. enterprise architecture (EA) impacts.
• B. a risk-based ranking of projects.
• C. IT budgets linked to the organization's budget.
• D. a comparison of future needs against current capabilities.

Correct answer: D

Option D is correct because comparing future needs with current capabilities allows an organization to identify gaps and ensure that IT strategies are effectively aligned with overall goals. The other options, while important, do not directly address the alignment of IT strategies with future organizational objectives.
