Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
Which practices improve traceability across cybersecurity governance? Select ALL correct answers.
Answer
Cross-reference standards to enterprise policies, Map standards to relevant external controls or regulatory requirements, Record key references in the standards document, Review linked standards when policies or external requirements change
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **Cross-reference standards to enterprise policies**: this shows which approved direction a standard implements.
- **Map standards to relevant external controls or regulatory requirements**: this helps demonstrate how obligations are addressed.
- **Record key references in the standards document**: this makes sources visible to users and reviewers.
- **Review linked standards when policies or external requirements change**: traceability helps identify what may need updating.
### The concept
Traceability supports management, audit, compliance, and maintenance. A standard should be connected to both its internal policy basis and relevant external obligations. Linking standards to testing also matters because testing checks whether the specified outcomes are being met.
### The other options
- **D. Remove links between standards and operational testing**: this weakens the connection between required outcomes and evidence of implementation.
### Terms
- **External control**: a control requirement originating in an external framework or obligation.
- **Mapping**: documenting how one requirement corresponds to another.
### Remember
Traceability links source, requirement, implementation, and evidence.
