CISSP Exam - Question 135


Which of the following is the name of an individual or group that is impacted by a change?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

A stakeholder is an individual or group that has an interest in any decision or activity of an organization and can be impacted by changes within that organization. This includes a wide range of parties such as employees, customers, suppliers, investors, and members of the community. End users are a specific subset of stakeholders who directly experience the implications of the change. However, the term 'stakeholder' encompasses all individuals and groups who can be impacted by a change, making it a broader and more comprehensive term.

I was on the fence between B and C. The word impact stuck out for me. While stakeholders have an interest, they generally are not impacted.

The term 'end user' itself represents the direct stakeholders of the system, and other roles are only indirect influences. Stakeholders and sponsors have many things to do and invest in many projects, so they may not necessarily care about what a single system invested in will become
