Selected Answer: D
Answer is D. Engage business process owners. Because alignment means that the security program supports and enables the business, rather than being a separate or disconnected function. To truly understand if your security objectives align with business goals, you need input from the process owners. KPIs measure performance, but not necessarily strategic alignment, unless those KPIs are built around business value which again is provided by the process owner.
