Isaca Cybersecurity-Audit-Certificate Exam - Topic 4 Question 42 Discussion

Actual exam question for Isaca's Cybersecurity-Audit-Certificate exam
Question #: 42
Topic #: 4
[All Cybersecurity-Audit-Certificate Questions]

Which of the following describes specific, mandatory controls or rules to support and comply with a policy?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Specific, mandatory controls or rules to support and comply with a policy are known as standards. This is because standards define the minimum level of performance or behavior that is expected from an organization or its employees in order to achieve a policy objective or requirement. Standards also provide clear and measurable criteria for auditing and monitoring compliance with policies. The other options are not specific, mandatory controls or rules to support and comply with a policy, but rather different types of documents or tools that provide guidance or recommendations for implementing policies or controls, such as frameworks (A), guidelines (B), or baselines C.

I’m confused between Standards and Baseline, but I lean towards Standards since they seem to fit the description of mandatory rules.

Okay, let me break this down. Frameworks provide a structure, guidelines are recommendations, baselines are starting points, and standards are the mandatory rules. I think standards is the right choice here.

This looks like a straightforward question about policy controls. I'll carefully read through the options and think about which one best describes mandatory rules or controls.

Frameworks, guidelines, and baselines are all well and good, but when the policy says 'you must,' that's a standard, folks.
