Question 552

Which of the following would be of MOST concern during an audit of an end-user computing (EUC) system containing sensitive information?

    Correct Answer: B

    The most concerning issue during an audit of an end-user computing system containing sensitive information is if the system data is not protected. Ensuring that sensitive data is secure from unauthorized access, modification, or destruction is critical. Lack of protection for sensitive data can lead to data breaches, compliance violations, and significant reputational damage. While audit logging, anti-virus software, and SLAs are also important, the protection of sensitive information is the highest priority.

EBTURKOption: B

Sensitive information must be protected from unauthorized access, modification, or destruction. If system data is not protected, it may be vulnerable to unauthorized access or modification. Audit logging is important but does not directly relate to the protection of sensitive information.

SwallowsOption: B

While the absence of audit logging (option A) is indeed a concern for monitoring and tracing activities on the system, the lack of protection for sensitive data poses a more immediate and severe risk. Without adequate protection measures, sensitive information stored within the EUC system could be vulnerable to unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure, leading to data breaches, compliance violations, and reputational damage.
