Question 417

Which of the following controls is BEST implemented through system configuration?

    Correct Answer: B

    The control that is best implemented through system configuration is 'Network user accounts for temporary workers expire after 90 days.' This control can be easily set up within the user account management system to automatically expire accounts after a specified period, requiring no ongoing human intervention once configured. Other options, such as reviewing user access appropriateness or tracing financial data for accuracy, typically require manual processes and oversight, making them less suitable for implementation solely through system configuration.

Discussion
SwallowsOption: B

This control is relatively easy to implement because it leverages the system's user account management capabilities to automatically manage the accounts. In contrast, a control that tracks the completeness and accuracy of financial data (D) can be difficult to implement through system configuration alone because it involves more processes and manual intervention.

ChangwhaOption: B

B. Network user accounts for temporary workers expire after 90 days.
