COBIT 2019 Foundation — Question 19

Which of the following is a CRITICAL requirement when the IT function is strategic and crucial to the success of the business?

Answer options

• A. Documented IT policies and procedures
• B. High involvement of IT-related roles in organizational structures
• C. Highly capable security-related processes and ensured risk optimization

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because having a strong presence of IT roles within the organizational structure ensures that IT is integrated into key decision-making processes, which is essential for strategic alignment. While documented policies and procedures (A) and effective security processes (C) are important, they do not have the same direct impact on the strategic role of IT in the organization.
