Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 885

An organization uses system interfaces to disburse money to various banks. Which of the following features in the system interfaces is MOST important to provide assurance that the money is going to the right bank account?

Answer options

• A. Audit logging
• B. Nonrepudiation
• C. Encryption
• D. Digital signature

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A digital signature provides a means to verify the authenticity and integrity of the transaction, ensuring that the funds are indeed directed to the intended bank account. While audit logging helps track transactions, nonrepudiation ensures that a party cannot deny a transaction, and encryption secures data in transit, they do not specifically confirm the identity of the recipient bank account like a digital signature does.
