The most important aspect for the IS auditor to review, given the use of predefined automated procedures for deploying and configuring application infrastructure in a cloud-based environment, is the processes for making changes to cloud environment specifications.
Automated procedures can greatly enhance efficiency and consistency, but they also necessitate robust processes for managing changes. The review of processes for making changes includes assessing how changes to configurations are authorized, tested, and implemented. This is crucial for ensuring that changes are well-controlled and aligned with business and security requirements.
