A new accouting firm has a small staff working in IT. Some of the IT staff excute more that role. Which of the following actions possess the highest risk?
The database administrator (DBA) only performs data backups.
The business analyst documents the requirements and executes functional testing.
The developers promote code into the production environment.
The developers write the code and perform testing.
The IT manager retains systems administration rights.
If developers have access to the production environment, there is a risk that untested code can be migrated into the production environment. In situations in which there is no dedicated testing group, the business analyst is often the one to perform testing because the analyst has detailed knowledge of how the system must function as a result of writing the requirements. It is acceptable in a small team for the IT manager to perform system administration, as long as the manager does not also develop code. Choice D is not correct because it may be part of the DBA's duties to perform backups.
