CPA Information Systems and Controls (ISC) Question of the Day

Test your knowledge with a hand-picked multiple-choice question.

During a sprint, developers push updates directly to production late at night to meet a marketing deadline. Incidents spike the next morning, and the service desk reports inconsistent code versions across servers. The team uses Git and maintains backups, and operations reviews logs weekly for errors.

Management asks IT audit to identify the missing general control that would have prevented the disruption.
