Which of the following should an information security manager use to BEST convey a sense of urgency to management?

A. Security metrics reports

B. Risk assessment reports

C. Business impact analysis (BIA)

D. Return on security investment report

Answer: B

Explanation:

Performing a risk assessment will allow the information security manager to prioritize the remedial measures and provide a means to convey a sense of urgency to management. Metrics reports are normally contained within the methodology of the risk assessment to give it credibility and provide an ongoing tool. The business impact analysis (BIA) covers continuity risks only. Return on security investment cannot be determined until a plan is developed based on the BIA.
