From an information security manager perspective, what is the immediate benefit of clearly-defined roles and responsibilities? 

Answer options:

A. Enhanced policy compliance
B. Improved procedure flows
C. Segregation of duties
D. Better accountability

D

Without well-defined roles and responsibilities, there cannot be accountability. Choice A is incorrect because policy compliance requires adequately defined accountability first and therefore is a byproduct. Choice B is incorrect because people can be assigned to execute procedures that are not well designed. Choice C is incorrect because segregation of duties is not automatic, and roles may still include conflicting duties.
