During an audit of the tape management system at a data
center, an IS auditor discovered that parameters are set to
bypass or ignore the labels written on tape header records.
The IS auditor also determined that effective staging and
job setup procedures were in place. In this situation, the
IS auditor should conclude that the:
A. tape headers should be manually logged and checked by the
operators.
B. staging and job setup procedures are not appropriate
compensating controls.
C. staging and job setup procedures compensate for the tape
label control weakness.
D. tape management system parameters must be set to check
all labels.
Answer / guest
Answer: C
Compensating controls are an important part of a control
structure. They are considered adequate if they help to
achieve the control objective and are cost-effective. In
this situation the IS auditor is most likely to conclude
that staging and job setup procedures compensate for the
tape label control weakness.
