Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 142

A change management process has recently been updated with new testing procedures. The NEXT course of action is to:

Answer options

• A. communicate to those who test and promote changes
• B. assess the maturity of the change management process
• C. conduct a cost-benefit analysis to justify the cost of the control
• D. monitor processes to ensure recent updates are being followed

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it's essential to communicate the updated testing procedures to those involved in testing and implementing changes to ensure they are aware and can apply the new guidelines. Option B is not the next step as assessing maturity comes after implementing changes. Option C is unnecessary at this stage since the focus should be on communication rather than justification. Option D, while important, is a follow-up action that occurs after communicating the updates.
