An IS auditor reviewing a network printer disposal process should be most concerned with the evidence available to verify that the hard drives of the printers have been sanitized prior to disposal. The hard drives of network printers may contain sensitive and confidential information, such as confidential documents, user credentials, or network configurations. If this information is not properly sanitized prior to disposal, it could be accessed by unauthorized individuals and potentially used for malicious purposes.
Disposal means deleting or completely sanitizing existing data. Yes policies are important, but the most important factor is whether the hard drive is sanitized or not.
First of all policies and procedures have to be implemented consistently. If A., B. or D. is an issue depends on what has been defined in the policies and procedures afterwards.
The answer is C in my opinion, because disposal policies and procedures being inconsistent not only tells the auditor about the printer in question but other printers and devices that have been disposed or that will require disposal in the future.
Its easy to think the answer is D, but it C is the best bet, opening the auditor's eyes to what is obtainable with this one printer and several other devices.
Answer: C
Addressing the consistency of disposal policies and procedures would likely address various risks associated with the printer disposal process, including ensuring the proper sanitization of printer hard drives.
I think correct answer is C: not following the disposal policy consistently. All other answers actually shows that policy has not been followed and bears the risk with integrity and confidentiality of information that could be contained on hard drives.
can some please confirm which is correct C or D? I think D
