Exam CSSLP topic 1 question 16 discussion

- Data owners (Option B) are responsible for managing data within their purview and ensuring it is well classified and protected at all times. While they play an important role in security management, they may not specifically conduct inspections of security measures.

- Senior management (Option C) has a critical responsibility of providing direction and support towards information security governance practices such as defining the risk appetite of an organization, providing resources and budget for implementing controls etc., however senior management might rely on audits or expert opinions internally before making any decisions.

- Information System Auditor (Option D) is not necessarily incorrect; However, the question specifically asks which individual inspects whether security objectives are efficiently performed. While auditing plays a pivotal role in evaluating overall performance on the said aspects; it does not inherently guarantee that efficient performance will follow-through consistently after audit delivery or understanding any risk mitigation recommendations shared by auditors. So while option D could be applicable here,it may have limited usefulness when compared to option A-Information System Security Professional who usually works collaboratively with all stakeholders across organization-wide projects for better Risk management optimization & practical implementation of set standards to achieve expected outcomes over time.
