QuestionQ543

Risk Assessment

Which of the following should be the primary consideration when designing information systems controls?

  • A The IT strategic plan
  • B The existing IT environment
  • C The organizational strategic plan
  • D The present IT budget
Explanation

Information systems controls must align with the organization’s strategic objectives, because those objectives define the business outcomes, risks, and priorities the controls are intended to support. IT plans, the current IT environment, and budget affect control implementation, but do not establish the primary business purpose of the controls.
