What will have the HIGHEST impact on standard information security governance models? 

Answer options:

A. Number of employees
B. Distance between physical locations
C. Complexity of organizational structure
D. Organizational budget

C

Information security governance models are highly dependent on the overall organizational structure. Some of the elements that impact organizational structure are multiple missions and functions across the organization, leadership and lines of communication. Number of employees and distance between physical locations have less impact on information security governance models since well-defined process, technology and people components intermingle to provide the proper governance. Organizational budget is not a major impact once good governance models are in place; hence governance will help in effective management of the organization`s budget.
