An organization's security policy mandates that all new employees must receive appropriate security awareness training. Which of the following metrics would BEST assure compliance with this policy?
A.
Number of new hires who have violated enterprise security policies
B.
Percentage of new hires that have completed the training
To assure compliance with the policy that all new employees receive security awareness training, the best metric is the percentage of new hires who have actually completed the training. This directly measures adherence to the policy.
Why not the others?
A. Number of new hires who have violated enterprise security policies
➤ Reflects policy violations but doesn’t measure whether training was completed.
C. Number of reported incidents by new hires
➤ Indicates incident awareness or behavior but not training completion.
D. Percentage of new hires who report incidents
➤ Measures awareness or engagement but not training compliance.
Not that it's straight forward. But getting the question. Assure compliance to this policy is the key, thus answer is B. But C or D could be the answer if probably asking to measure the effectiveness. My guess.
Should be D, since this is the only option, that ensures the quality or effectiveness of the training on the individual level. The total number is not valid. It needs to be ensured, that new hires understand the policy. In any case, the discussion can only be between C and D, not B.
A zero number of new employees violating the company's security policy indicates that all employees are in compliance with the policy. Completion of training alone does not negate the possibility that policy violations may occur.
