Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 780

Which of the following is the BEST method to align an information security strategic plan to the corporate strategy?

Answer options

• A. Ensuring the plan complies with business unit expectations
• B. Involving industry experts in the development of the plan
• C. Involving senior management in the development of the plan
• D. Obtaining adequate funds from senior management

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Involving senior management in the development of the plan ensures that it aligns with the overall corporate strategy and objectives, as they have a comprehensive understanding of the organization's goals. The other options, while important, do not guarantee the same level of alignment with corporate strategy as senior management involvement does.
