D.
Comparing all servers included in the current central log repository with the listing used for the prior-year audit
Answers
D.
Comparing all servers included in the current central log repository with the listing used for the prior-year audit
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

The audit procedure that would have most likely identified the exception of critical servers not included in the central log repository is to compare a list of all servers from the directory server against a list of all servers present in the central log repository. This would allow the IS auditor to detect any discrepancies or omissions in the central log repository. The other audit procedures (A, C and D) would not be effective in identifying this exception, as they would only focus on the alerts generated, the alert settings configured, or the servers included in the previous year's audit, which may not reflect the current state of the central log repository.Reference:IS Audit and Assurance Guideline 2202: Evidence Collection Techniques,CISA Review Manual (Digital Version), Chapter 5: Protection of Information Assets, Section 5.3: Logging and Monitoring
