Exam OG0-093 topic 1 question 206 discussion

Actual exam question from The Open Group's OG0-093
Question #: 206
Topic #: 1
[All OG0-093 Questions]

Scenario:
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
The ABC company is a large, global commodities trading company which has been growing rapidly through a series of acquisitions.
Each new business is performing well in its markets. However, the lack of integration between headquarters and the business units has increasingly caused problems in the handling of customer and financial information. The inability to share information across businesses has resulted in lost opportunities to "leverage the synergies" that had been intended when the businesses were acquired. At present, each business unit maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a common application to manage customer, products, supplier, and inventory information, each business unit has different ways of defining each of these core elements and has customized the common application to the point where the ability to exchange information is difficult, costly, and error-prone.
As a result, the company has begun implementing a single Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to consolidate information from several applications that exist across the lines of business.
The Corporate Board is concerned that the new ERP system must be able to manage and safeguard customer information in a manner that meets or exceeds the legal requirements of the countries in which the company operates. This will be an increasingly important capability as the company expands its online services offered to clients and trading partners.
The CIO has formed an Enterprise Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its charter is to coordinate efforts between the ERP implementation team and the business unit personnel who will be involved in the migration process. The CIO has also formed a cross-functional Architecture Review Board to oversee and govern the architecture. The company has selected TOGAF 9 as the basis for its Enterprise Architecture program. The CIO has endorsed this choice with the full support of top management.

Refer to the Scenario -
You are serving as the Chief Architect.
You have been asked to recommend the approach to take in the Preliminary Phase to ensure that the Corporate Board's concern is addressed.
Based on TOGAF 9, which of the following is the best answer?

  • A. You evaluate the implications of the Board's concern in terms of regulatory and security policy requirements. You then update the Global Traders security policy to reflect the concern, ensuring that this policy is communicated across the organization. You allocate a security architecture team to ensure that security considerations are included in ongoing architecture planning. You then assess the security implications and agreements within the Global Traders businesses and their suppliers.
  • B. You start by clarifying the intent that the Board has for raising this concern. This enables you to understand the implications of the concern in terms of regulatory requirements and the potential impact on current business goals and objectives. You propose that a security architect or security architecture team be allocated to develop a comprehensive security architecture.
  • C. You evaluate the implications of the Board's concern in terms of regulatory requirements and their impact on business goals and objectives. Based on this understanding, you then issue a Request for Architecture Work to commence an architecture development project to develop a solution that will address the Board's concern. You allocate a security architect to oversee the implementation of the solution in the ERP system that is being developed.
  • D. You evaluate the implications of the Board's concern by examining the potential impacts on business goals and objectives. Based on your understanding, you then update the current Global Traders security policy to include an emphasis on the Board's concern. In addition, you allocate a security architect to ensure that security considerations are included in the architecture planning for all domains.

Directly updating some corporate security policy at the Preliminary Phase doesn't seem correct (A and D). Between B and C it's difficult to think but it seems Proposing something seems like the Architect's job :) Then the Sponsor would issue Request for Architecture Work. B seems correct to me.

The answer in the page you shared the url corresponds to option C here. And I can tell that option is the most certainly wrong answer due to the "Request for Architecture Work" statement in the answer.

Request for Architecture Work is not raised by Ent. Arch. - therefore seems C incorrect. Security architecture is supposed to be separate knowledge area which is very broad and comprehensive. Therefore, Ent. Arch would just propose and let specialist team come in.

IT is D because the phase is preliminary phase where we first make sure the business goals and objectives are first aligned with this need, so that is why the impact of this change on the existing business goals and objectives are considered.

I think B is the right asnwer because the questions asks for "Recommendations", but other answers are simply taking some actions which are not even in scope of Chief Architect.

C Looks more appropriate as 'Request for Architecture Work' is the outcome of Preliminary Phase. Also, in other blogs mostly answered is 'A'. please share your inputs

In my understanding it should be B. You are a chef architect and therefore you can't just change a security policy on your understanding. And the Request for Architecture Work is issued by the sponsor?
