Peter Gregory CISM Book :- A small but effective way to drive a culture of security is to add in specific language regarding the responsibilities that each role plays in protecting the organization’s data and systems used in storing, processing, and transmitting that data. While option B (training) is something most of us may lean towards. D is the right answer.

B may not be correct answer, because each one's responsibilities (may be unique) can't convey in common awareness program. JD is specific; hence this would be better choice for detail each one's responsibilities

B. Require staff to participate in information security awareness training. While the other options (A, C, and D) can be important components of an organization's information security program, providing staff with information security awareness training is generally the most effective method for ensuring that they understand their responsibilities and the importance of information security. Training helps employees learn about various security threats, best practices, and how to recognize and respond to security risks. It also helps create a security-conscious culture within the organization.

Including security responsibilities in JDs not only develops awareness of their responsibilities but also aids in compliance enforcement. Think of it like this: your JD is specific to you. Awareness training is less specific as it is created for a group. What is more likely to get you attention? What will you take more seriously?

"Help understand" is the key part. So training.

On second thought, it says "responsibilities" - understand what they are responsible for while doing their jobs. So then it is D - job description.

Selected Answer: B This question makes many people confused. "Security awareness training" precedes over "responsibilities in job description" as employees don't read or remember it after they join. "
