Isaca CISM Exam - Topic 4 Question 80 Discussion

Posted by Mozell on Aug 06, 2024 at 06:35 AM

Which of the following should an information security manager do FIRST when there is a conflict between the organization's information security policy and a local regulation?

Suggested Answer: C

Data encryption standards are the best information security initiative for creating an enterprise strategy for protecting data across multiple data repositories and different departments because they help to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data in transit and at rest. Data encryption is a process of transforming data into an unreadable format using a secret key or algorithm, so that only authorized parties can access and decrypt it. Data encryption standards are the rules or specifications that define how data encryption should be performed, such as the type, strength, and mode of encryption, the key management and distribution methods, and the compliance requirements. Data encryption standards help to protect data from unauthorized access, modification, or theft, as well as to meet the regulatory obligations for data privacy and security. Therefore, data encryption standards are the correct answer.

I'd go with enforcing the organization's security policy. That's the priority, and we can work on aligning the regulation later.

I remember practicing with a question about restoring files, and I think Backup Recovery was mentioned, but it sounds a bit off for this scenario.

Hmm, this one's a head-scratcher. I'd be tempted to just enforce the org's security policy, but I guess that could get me in trouble with the local authorities. Gotta play it safe and get that legal advice first.
