Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 688

Which of the following methods enables the MOST rigorous testing while avoiding the disruption of normal business operations?

Answer options

• A. Walk-through test
• B. Full interruption test
• C. Parallel test
• D. Checklist review test

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Parallel test, as it allows for testing in a live environment without impacting ongoing operations. A Walk-through test is more of a discussion-based review, a Full interruption test disrupts normal operations, and a Checklist review test does not provide the same level of thoroughness as a Parallel test.
