Explanation:
It is always desirable to avoid the conflict of interest involved in having the information security team carries out the post event review. Obtaining support for enhancing the expertise of the third-party teams is one of the advantages, but is not the primary driver.

Obtaining better buy-in for the information security program is not a valid reason for involving third-party teams.
