Exam CGEIT topic 1 question 422 discussion

B. Perform an information gap analysis.

A. Review information classification procedures. Reviewing information classification procedures should be the FIRST step for a new Chief Information Officer (CIO) to ensure effective governance of information assets. Information classification procedures help determine the sensitivity and importance of various types of information within the organization. By understanding how information is classified, the CIO can assess the current state of governance, identify potential gaps or weaknesses, and establish a foundation for managing and protecting information assets effectively. Once the information classification procedures are reviewed and understood, the CIO can then proceed to perform other tasks such as performing an information gap analysis, evaluating information access methods, and quantifying the business value of information assets. However, understanding how information is classified sets the stage for more comprehensive governance efforts.
