,Section A - Technology Governance Frameworks
Q1.
A multinational corporation is implementing COBIT 2019. Which design factor most
significantly influences the governance system's complexity and should be assessed
first?
A. Enterprise strategy B. Risk management approach
C. Technology adoption strategy D. Compliance requirements
Correct: A - Enterprise strategy
Rationale:COBIT 2019 identifies enterprise strategy as a primary design factor that sets the
context for all others. Strategy determines the enterprise's goals, risk appetite, and
technology needs, thereby shaping the entire governance system. While risk, technology, and
compliance are important, they are subordinate to strategic direction.
Q2.
In the context of ITIL 4, which practice is primarily concerned with ensuring that services
deliver value to customers by managing their expectations and feedback?
A. Service level management B. Relationship management
C. Service desk D. Continual improvement
Correct: B - Relationship management
Rationale:ITIL 4's relationship management practice focuses on building and maintaining
strong relationships with customers and stakeholders to understand their needs and ensure
value co-creation. Service level management deals with formal agreements, service desk
handles incidents, and continual improvement is about enhancing services, but relationship
management is specifically about customer expectations and feedback.
Q3.
A healthcare provider is subject to HIPAA. Which data classification requires the most
stringent safeguards to protect patient privacy?
A. Protected Health Information (PHI) B. Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
C. Electronic Protected Health Information D. De-identified health information
(ePHI)
Correct: C - Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI)
Page 3
, Section A - Technology Governance Frameworks
Rationale: ePHI is PHI that is transmitted or maintained in electronic form, and HIPAA's
Security Rule specifically mandates safeguards for ePHI. While PHI is protected, ePHI
requires additional technical and administrative protections due to its electronic nature. PII is
broader and de-identified data is not subject to HIPAA.
Q4.
An organization is adopting ISO 38500. Which principle emphasizes that IT decisions
should align with the organization's business objectives?
A. Responsibility B. Strategy
C. Acquisition D. Performance
Correct: B - Strategy
Rationale:ISO 38500's 'Strategy' principle states that IT should align with the organization's
business strategy and objectives. 'Responsibility' is about clear assignment, 'Acquisition' is
about IT procurement, and 'Performance' is about meeting service levels, but alignment with
business goals is specifically the strategy principle.
Q5.
In the NIST Risk Management Framework, which step involves selecting, implementing,
and assessing controls to mitigate identified risks?
A. Step 1: Categorize B. Step 2: Select
C. Step 3: Implement D. Step 4: Assess
Correct: C - Step 3: Implement
Rationale:Step 3 (Implement) in NIST RMF is where controls are put into place and then
assessed in Step 4. Select (Step 2) is about choosing controls, and Categorize (Step 1) is
about determining impact. Implementation is the action of putting controls into operation.
Q6.
Which of the following best describes the primary purpose of a data governance
framework?
A. To ensure data is stored securely B. To assign accountability for data quality
and lifecycle
C. To prevent data breaches D. To comply with data protection
regulations
Correct: B - To assign accountability for data quality and lifecycle
