CISA Domain 4: Incident & Problem Management

This episode is part of the CISA Audit Judgment Series — a structured learning path focused on Domains 4 and 5, the heaviest-weighted sections of the CISA exam.

In this episode, we examine a real scenario where a critical service outage was fixed quickly — but no root cause analysis (RCA) was performed. The incident was closed with a simple restart, leaving the underlying issue unresolved and guaranteeing the possibility of recurrence.

You’ll learn:

✔ Why CISA Domain 4 focuses so heavily on incident vs. problem management

✔ Why a “resolved” incident is NOT a completed control

✔ How junior auditors interpret outage recovery vs. how audit leaders analyze it

✔ What evidence auditors must review to evaluate incident governance

✔ How to assess RCA, escalation, and operational maturity

✔ What CISA is actually testing with incident-related questions

✔ The risk implications when outages are closed without understanding the cause

This episode blends CISA exam reasoning with real audit leadership — the foundation of the CyberLex Audit Judgment Series.
