Question 1
Which of the following should be the FIRST step in developing an information security plan?
Perform a technical vulnerabilities assessment
Analyze the current business strategy
Perform a business impact analysis
Assess the current levels of security awareness
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
Prior to assessing technical vulnerabilities or levels of security awareness, an information security manager needs to gain an understanding of the current business strategy and direction. A business impact analysis should be performed prior to developing a business continuity plan, but this would not be an appropriate first step in developing an information security strategy because it focuses on availability.
