The MOST appropriate role for senior management in supporting information security is the:
A.
evaluation of vendors offering security products.
B.
assessment of risks to the organization.
C.
approval of policy statements and funding.
D.
monitoring adherence to regulatory requirements.
Explanation:
Since the members of senior management are ultimately responsible for information security, they
are the ultimate decision makers in terms of governance and direction. They are responsible for
approval of major policy statements and requests to fund the information security practice.
Evaluation of vendors, assessment of risks and monitoring compliance with regulatory
requirements are day-to-day responsibilities of the information security manager; in some
organizations, business management is involved in these other activities, though their primary role
is direction and governance.
