CISM Exam - Question 551


Which of the following has the GREATEST impact on the viability of an information security roadmap?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BC

The viability of an information security roadmap is most significantly impacted by management support. Without strong management support, obtaining the necessary resources, enforcing policies, and gaining organizational buy-in becomes challenging, which could lead to implementation failures despite other influencing factors such as regulatory requirements, threat landscape, and resource availability. Management support ensures that the roadmap receives the attention, funding, and priority it needs to be successful.

A road map is defined as the steps required to achieve a strategy or strategic objective in support of the business vision and mission. If the threat landscape will change, you need to/ must adjust the plan. You cannot wait when the threat landscape changed all of sudden. Availability of resources and management support can fluctuate over time.
