Which of the following should an information security manager do NEXT after creating a roadmap to execute the strategy for an information security program?
After creating a roadmap to execute the strategy for an information security program, the next step should be to obtain consensus on the strategy from the executive board. This step ensures that the strategy has the necessary buy-in from senior management, which is crucial for securing funding, resources, and commitment to the implementation process. Without this consensus, the project plan developed afterward might face significant hurdles in execution.
Options B, C, D should be done before Roadmap development; Hence A is the answer
confirm the alignment to business goal.
T3.2 Align the information security program with the operational objectives of other business functions (e.g., human resources [HR], accounting, procurement and IT) to ensure that the information security program adds value to and protects the business.
B. Obtain consensus on the strategy from the executive board
After the strategy and roadmap are developed, we must seek management/board approval. Once the approval is received, we present a business case to seek funding to implement the strategy. We may include a high-level project plan in the BC. The review of BC will be based on its alignment with the business goals which must be considered early in the development of strategy objectives. Risk tolerance is also defined during strategy development.

project plan to implement strategy
A looks the right answer.
D. Review alignment with business goals Before diving into the implementation details (option A), obtaining consensus from the executive board (option B), or defining organizational risk tolerance (option C), it is crucial to ensure that the information security strategy aligns with the overall business goals and objectives. This step helps ensure that the security program will support and enhance the organization's mission and priorities, making it more likely to receive support from senior management (option B) and to effectively manage risks (option C).
