Answer is D
"To assess risk, you need to think about threats and vulnerabilities. Start by making a list of any potential threats to your organization’s assets, then score these threats based on their likelihood and impact. From there, think about what vulnerabilities exist within your organization, categorize and rank them based on potential impact. These vulnerabilities can consist of people (employees, clients, third parties), processes or lack thereof, and technologies in place. "

Performing risk assessment covers answer C, for example, if you need to be PCI DSS compliant, you first assess the risk in your environment and compare it with what the standard says, your ISA can help you do that before the external assessor (QSA) comes in and assesses your controls (again the PCI DSS standard) to see your gaps.
The most important option to follow when developing information security controls for an organization is D. Perform a risk assessment and choose a standard that addresses existing gaps. This ensures that security controls are specifically tailored to the organization's needs and vulnerabilities, providing more effective protection against identified threats.
Considering legislation and legal requirements is an important aspect for a company to prioritize. Option C: Review all local and international standards and choose the most stringent based on location highlights the significance of being aware of and complying with relevant laws and regulations.
B is the best answer. Exercising due diligence will require you to perform a risk assessment and then you will take all risk information into account. B is the all encompassing answer making it the best answer.
D. Perform a risk assessment and choose a standard that addresses existing gaps is the MOST important when developing information security controls for an organization.
A risk assessment is a critical step in the process of identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing the risks associated with an organization's information systems, assets, and processes. By performing a risk assessment, the organization can identify vulnerabilities and threats, and determine the likelihood and impact of potential security incidents. Based on the results of the risk assessment, the organization can then implement appropriate controls to mitigate or prevent identified risks, such as choosing a standard that addresses existing gaps in the organization's security posture.
The correct answer is B, Exercise due diligence with regard to all risk management information to tailor appropriate controls.
When developing information security controls for an organization, it is important to exercise due diligence with regard to all risk management information and tailor the controls to the specific needs and risks of the organization. This involves thoroughly reviewing and understanding the organization's risk profile and risk management processes and using that information to design controls that are appropriate and effective for the organization. By exercising due diligence and tailoring the controls to the organization's specific needs and risks, the organization can ensure that its security controls are effective and aligned with its business objectives.
i think D . i am thinking new CISO...arrives does GAP analysis, (swot) then risk assessment makes a report and proposes controls/updates to senior management ..they decide what to tailor and implement based on assessment
I’m going with B based on due diligence being a management trait that CISO should demonstrate. Not all local and international standards have to be implemented - mgmt can choose to avoid/accept certain risks.
Only D as only based on risk assessment and knowing what is worth to protect what isn't you can proceed with choosing standards, controls, reading best practices etc. Risk assessment is the most important and they ask about most important part.
