Selected Answer: C
C. Establish an Audit Committee: Establishing an audit committee helps ensure that governance, risk management, and compliance are appropriately addressed at the organizational level. The audit committee typically includes senior management and key stakeholders from different business units, IT, and other relevant departments. It plays a crucial role in overseeing and providing guidance on the organization's information security initiatives, resource allocation, and compliance. By having an audit committee in place, the organization can move towards a more structured and formalized approach to information security, with better tracking of resource allocation, spending, and compliance efforts. The committee can provide a centralized mechanism for monitoring the organization's security posture and risk management practices.
