Which of the following approaches to communication with senior management BEST enables an information security manager to maximize the effectiveness of the information security program?
A.
Reporting on industry security threats with potential impact to business objectives
B.
Conducting periodic one-on-one meetings to align security with business objectives
C.
Participating in operational review meetings to discuss daily operations and dependencies
D.
Providing regular status of updates to security policies and standards
Correct answer is A: Reporting on industry security threats with potential impact to business objectives. Because it connects security to business risk, which is exactly what CISM teaches is most effective for engaging leadership.
About B. Conducting periodic one-on-one meetings to align security with business objectives. This sounds great in theory, but it’s not as scalable or impactful plus that one-on-ones may not reach the full senior management team.
A. Reporting on industry security threats with potential impact to business objectives.
This approach keeps senior management informed about relevant external threats that could affect the organization's business objectives, allowing them to make informed decisions about resource allocation and risk mitigation strategies. It demonstrates the proactive stance of the information security manager in addressing potential risks to the organization's operations and aligns the information security program with the broader business goals and priorities. Therefore, choice A is the most effective approach in this context.
B. Conducting periodic one-on-one meetings to align security with business objectives
