CISM Certified Information Security Manager – Question0487

When speaking to an organization's human resources department about information security, an information security manager should focus on the need for:

A. an adequate budget for the security program.
B. recruitment of technical IT employees.
C. periodic risk assessments.
D. security awareness training for employees.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation:
An information security manager has to impress upon the human resources department the need for security awareness training for all employees. Budget considerations are more of an accounting function. The human resources department would become involved once they are convinced for the need of security awareness training. Recruiting IT-savvy staff may bring in new employees with better awareness of information security, but that is not a replacement for the training requirements of the other employees. Periodic risk assessments may or may not involve the human resources department function.
