CISSP – Information Systems Security Management Professional (ISSMP) — Question 1

Ned is the program manager for his organization and he's considering some new materials for his program. He and his team have never worked with these materials before and he wants to ask the vendor for some additional information, a demon, and even some samples. What type of a document should Ned send to the vendor?

Answer options

• A. IFB
• B. RFQ
• C. RFP
• D. RFI

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, RFI, which stands for Request for Information. It is appropriate for situations where additional details and demonstrations are needed before making a decision. Options A (IFB), B (RFQ), and C (RFP) are not suitable here as they are typically used for bidding or pricing proposals rather than gathering initial information.
