Which of the following should an information security manager do FIRST when assessing conflicting requirements between the global organization's security standards and local regulations?
A.
Conduct a gap analysis against local regulations.
B.
Perform a cost-benefit analysis of compliance.
C.
Create a local version of the organizational standards.
D.
Prioritize the organizational standards over local regulations.
This step is crucial because it helps the information security manager understand the specific areas where conflicts or gaps exist. Once the gaps are identified, the manager can then proceed with further actions, such as evaluating the impact, determining the best course of action, and potentially involving relevant stakeholders in decision-making.
Not entirely correct. A conflict of global vs local regulations has been noted, but it's not clear what the extent of non-compliance is. By performing a gap analysis an information security manager will be able to identify specific measures needed to close the gap.
When assessing conflicting requirements between the global organization's security standards and local regulations, the information security manager should FIRST conduct a gap analysis against local regulations. This will help the manager to identify areas where the global organization's security standards may conflict with local regulations and help to develop a plan to address those conflicts. The manager can then work with legal and compliance teams to determine the best course of action for achieving compliance with both the organizational standards and local regulations.
