During an IT compliance audit readiness exercise, which of the following roles is appropriately designated as an internal remediation owner for identified security control deficiencies? (Select all that apply.)

### Why this is right - **Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)** is listed as a participant representing cybersecurity leadership. - **Compliance Officer** contributes a compliance perspective. - **Information Technology (IT) Manager** contributes operational and technical knowledge. - **Legal Advisor** contributes a legal perspective. ### The concept The exercise uses different roles because compliance issues cross organizational boundaries. Technical staff can explain systems and evidence, compliance staff can help interpret organizational obligations, and legal staff can advise on communications and legal concerns. The exercise does not list an external auditor as the remediation owner; auditors are described as announcing an on-site visit. ### The other options - **E. External auditor as the exercise's remediation owner**: Auditors are part of the scenario as reviewers, not identified as CodeForge's remediation owner. ### Terms - **CISO**: Chief Information Security Officer. The senior role responsible for directing or overseeing information security. - **IT**: Information Technology. The systems and technical services used to process and manage information. ### Remember Participants contribute expertise; the organization remains responsible for assigning and completing its own remediation.
