B. Answer B. The clue is in the question :- "and is unable to advance the IT security centric agenda"; Its not all about IT, its about the business. I see so many CISO focussed on IT, IT, tech, tech, tech though the manufacture have a load of OT/ICS and senior management have an issue. The CISO doesn't have the board here and then D, will kick in.

Selected Answer: D
Given that this scenario pertains to the Certified Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO) exam by the EC-Council, the focus is on leadership and strategic alignment within the organization. Considering the CISO's challenges in advancing the IT security agenda, the major concern likely revolves around the broader organizational and leadership context. The Major Concern: D. Lack of sponsorship from executive management Explanation: Lack of Sponsorship from Executive Management: Effective information security leadership requires strong support and sponsorship from the executive management team. Without this backing, the CISO will struggle to advance the security agenda, gain necessary resources, and ensure organization-wide adherence to security policies and initiatives. Executive sponsorship is crucial for aligning security efforts with business goals and for empowering the CISO to lead effectively across the enterprise.

B could be the answer from an IS/Business perspective. The CISO is not concentrating on meeting the needs of the business side.
