Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
Which actions would help BuildSphere address the governance gaps found by its internal audit? Select ALL correct answers.
Answer
Adopt an appropriate governance framework, Define cybersecurity leadership roles, Integrate cybersecurity into audits
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **A** is correct: adopting a governance framework is one of BuildSphere's stated improvement priorities.
- **B** is correct: the audit found undefined leadership roles, and defining them directly addresses that gap.
- **C** is correct: integrating cybersecurity into audits is also a stated focus for improvement.
### The concept
An audit can identify whether an organization has established roles and governance processes. A framework can give structure to those processes, while defined roles clarify who makes and carries out decisions. The company's government contracts also create a cybersecurity standards obligation even though the profile describes few sector-specific regulations.
### The other options
- **D. Leave leadership responsibilities undefined to preserve flexibility**: this repeats the condition the audit identified as a risk.
- **E. Assume that minimal sector regulation removes the need for governance**: BuildSphere's government contracts require compliance with a cybersecurity standard, and governance is needed to manage its sensitive projects.
### Terms
- **Internal audit**: An organizational review that can identify gaps in controls, governance, or compliance.
- **Framework**: A structured set of guidance used to organize cybersecurity processes and communicate posture.
### Remember
An identified accountability gap calls for defined ownership, not less definition.
