From Figure 2.1—COBIT Stakeholders /// The correct is C

Actually in my opinion, to ensure compliance with external applicable rules and regulations is the Legal and Compliance department's responsibility. Enterprise IT just follow L&C's and the other company's polices. But IT do have relationship with external vendors. I choose B.

The answer is C

Since we have three External Stakeholders in relation to the intended audience: 1. Regulators, 2. Business Partners 3. IT Vendors Therefore, the benefit that can derived from the use of COBIT in relation to provided options, C becomes the relevant answer.

Ensuring compliance with rules and regulations is often a key concern for external stakeholders, such as regulatory bodies, customers, and business partners. COBIT provides guidance and controls that help organizations meet compliance requirements and demonstrate their commitment to regulatory compliance. While COBIT provides guidance on organizing and monitoring the performance of Information and Technology (I&T) across the enterprise (option A) and helps manage the dependency on external service providers (option B), compliance assurance (option C) is the primary benefit associated with external stakeholders concerned about legal and regulatory obligations.

B. COBIT helps to manage the dependency on the use of external service providers. This benefit is primarily associated with an external stakeholder, as it relates to the management of external service providers, which are typically third-party entities that provide services to an organization. COBIT provides guidance on how to manage the risks and dependencies associated with using external service providers, such as managing contracts, ensuring service levels are met, and mitigating risks associated with outsourcing or relying on external parties for critical services. This benefit is important for ensuring that an organization's reliance on external service providers is well-managed and aligned with its overall governance and risk management objectives.
