Question 880
Following a quarterly control assessment at a city council, the service owner has to defend a design against oversimplified assumptions. The requirement is: An organization investigates an event outside its normal audit record retention window. The review is limited to the control and concept described by this requirement. Which unsupported assumption would MOST directly undermine this requirement?
- Assuming the portal itself automatically enables every licensed compliance policy.
- Assuming deleting a file from the visible user interface always bypasses an active retention hold.
- Assuming the audit portal can reconstruct events that were never retained.
- Assuming a filename extension alone reliably identifies every payment card number in a document.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Assuming the audit portal can reconstruct events that were never retained. This belief conflicts with this control principle: Audit data availability depends on recording and retention configuration and entitlement. The appropriate response instead is: Check the supported audit retention settings and available records before promising historic evidence.
