Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 755

The PRIMARY advantage of involving end users in continuity planning is that they:

Answer options

• A. can see the overall impact to the business
• B. are more objective than information security management
• C. can balance the technical and business risks
• D. have a better understanding of specific business needs

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because end users are closest to the daily operations and have a clear view of the specific needs of the business. Options A, B, and C, while they may have some merit, do not capture the unique insight that end users possess regarding their own requirements, making D the most relevant choice.
