What is the best initial approach to assessing a software application that was developed using the principles of a service oriented architecture (SOA)?
Sampling and reviewing the use of service security standards as represented by the Security Assertions Markup Language (SAML).
Understanding services and their allocation to business processes by reviewing the service repository documentation.
Assess adequacy of the service level agreements (SLAs).
Validating any single service and its dependencies with others.
A SOA relies on the principles of a distributed environment in which services encapsulate business logic as a black box and might be deliberately combined to depict real-world business processes. Before reviewing services in detail, it is essential for the IS auditor to comprehend the mapping of business processes to services. Choices D and C are not correct because sampling the use of service security standards as represented by the SAML and reviewing the SLAs are essential follow-up steps to understanding services and their allocation to business but are not first steps. Choice A is not correct because auditing any single service and its dependencies with others would be very time consuming and is not the standard way to start an SOA audit.
