Certified Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO) — Question 9

Which of the following has the GREATEST impact on the implementation of an information security governance model?

Answer options

• A. Complexity of organizational structure
• B. Distance between physical locations
• C. Organizational budget
• D. Number of employees

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The complexity of the organizational structure greatly affects how information security governance is implemented, as it determines the levels of authority, communication, and decision-making processes. While distance between physical locations, organizational budget, and number of employees can influence security governance, they do not have as profound an effect on the overall framework as structural complexity does.
