A cybersecurity analyst presents the results of a recent penetration test to the organization's steering committee. The report details several critical vulnerabilities in a key revenue-generating application and provides recommended remediation actions. The committee must now decide on the next steps. What is the primary purpose of this management review and approval process regarding the test findings?
To document the technical details of the identified vulnerabilities for the development team's reference
To transfer liability for potential security breaches from the technical staff to executive management
To satisfy annual compliance requirements without committing to substantial changes in security posture
To ensure accountability, proper resource allocation, and strategic alignment of security initiatives
Management review and approval serves as a governance function to ensure accountability, proper resource allocation, and strategic alignment of security initiatives. When security test results are presented to management, they have the responsibility to review the findings, understand the risk implications, and approve remediation plans or accept certain risks. This process ensures that security decisions are made at the appropriate organizational level with proper authority and visibility. Additionally, management approval provides formal documentation that risks have been acknowledged, which can be important for compliance and audit purposes.
