CISM Exam Dumps - Certified Information Security Manager

Information security program metrics are the best way to demonstrate the status of an organization’s information security program to the board of directors, as they provide relevant and meaningful information on the performance, effectiveness, and value of the program, as well as the current and emerging risks and the corresponding mitigation strategies. Information security program metrics should be aligned with the business objectives and risk appetite of the organization, and should be presented in a clear and concise manner that enables the board of directors to make informed decisions and provide oversight.

An email digital signature will verify to recipient the integrity of an email message because it ensures that the message has not been altered or tampered with during transit, and confirms that the message originated from the sender and not an imposter. An email digital signature will not protect the confidentiality of an email message because it does not encrypt or hide the message content from unauthorized parties. An email digital signature will not automatically correct unauthorized modification of an email message because it does not change or restore the message content if it has been altered or tampered with.

The answer to the question is A. Classification model. This is because a classification model is a system of assigning labels or categories to information assets based on their value, sensitivity, and criticality to the organization. A classification model helps to ensure consistent protection for the organization’s information assets by:

Providing a common language and criteria for defining and communicating the security requirements and expectations for the information assets

Enabling the identification and prioritization of the information assets that need the most protection and resources

Facilitating the implementation and enforcement of the appropriate level of security controls and measures for the information assets, based on their classification

Supporting the compliance with the legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations regarding the information assets, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
