Exam Lead Auditor topic 1 question 58 discussion

Actual exam question from PECB's Lead Auditor

Question #: 58
Topic #: 1

As an auditor, you have noticed that ABC Inc. has established a procedure to manage the removable storage media. The procedure is based on the classification scheme adopted by ABC Inc. Thus, if the information stored is classified as "confidential," the procedure applies. On the other hand, information classified as "public" does not have confidentiality requirements; thus, only a procedure for ensuring its integrity and availability applies. What type of audit finding is this?

A. Nonconformity
B. Anomaly
C. Conformity

Selected Answer: C

ABC Inc. has established a procedure for managing removable storage media based on a classification scheme. This approach ensures that "confidential" information is handled in a manner that preserves confidentiality, while "public" information is managed with a focus on integrity and availability. By aligning its procedures with the adopted classification scheme, ABC Inc. is demonstrating adherence to its established controls, processes, and standards. In the context of an audit, this would be considered conformity because the organization is operating in compliance with its own documented policies and procedures. There is no evidence in the scenario to suggest a failure to meet requirements (nonconformity) or an irregularity that would constitute an anomaly.
