Selected Answer: D
Answer is D: Members are business risk owners. Because business risk owners are the people who are accountable for outcomes, they can make informed decisions about acceptable risk levels and they can align security initiatives with business priorities and risk appetite.

Between A and D, the answer is A because A could include D but D does not necessarily guarantee A.

Selected Answer: A
The most important part of steering committee is to have representatives that cover multiple functions across the organization. If you dont have this then there will be a lack of advocates in certain divisions of the business.

The committee is not to cover all stakeholders. E.g. admin department is not required. Only important stakeholders are needed.

Selected Answer: D
D. Members are business risk owners: Information security is not just an IT issue; it's a business issue. Business leaders who are also risk owners have a deep understanding of the organization's overall objectives, priorities, and risk appetite. When these leaders are involved in the information security governance committee, decisions related to security measures are more likely to align with the broader business strategy, and there is a better chance of achieving a balance between security and business objectives.
