Your organization has recently undergone a series of changes, including the implementation of new technologies and a shift in strategic business objectives. To ensure that the information security policies remain effective and relevant, what should the security governance team do first?
Only inform the relevant departments about the changes without modifying existing policies.
Revise the security strategic plan before any changes to policies are considered.
Review and update the existing policies to ensure they align with current business objectives and technological changes.
Immediately conduct a new risk assessment to evaluate potential vulnerabilities introduced by the new technologies.
The correct answer is to review and update the existing policies. With new technologies and shifts in the organization's strategic objectives, previous policies may no longer be applicable or sufficient. It's essential to review and adjust these policies to the current organizational needs to ensure they are effective. Conducting new risk assessments or revising security plans may be necessary afterward but the first step should be reassessing the existing policies to reflect any changes in the business environment. Disregarding the changes or only informing the relevant departments would not suffice, as it does not ensure that the policies are aligned with the new changes.
