A multinational corporation is implementing a new security framework across its global operations. Due to varying regional regulations and business priorities, the CISO has determined that security controls need to be adapted for each geographic location while maintaining compliance with baseline requirements. Which of the following approaches represents the BEST example of scoping and tailoring in this scenario?
Implementing controls from the security framework consistently across regions while considering local regulations
Adopting regional regulations across global locations to ensure compliance
Allowing each regional office to define their own security controls independently based on local priorities
Performing a gap analysis between regional requirements and the security framework, then customizing controls while maintaining the core security objectives
The correct answer involves performing a gap analysis and customizing controls while maintaining core objectives. Effective scoping and tailoring requires analyzing environmental factors (scoping) and adjusting controls accordingly (tailoring) while preserving security outcomes. The gap analysis identifies regional differences, while customizing controls with core objectives intact represents proper tailoring.
The other options fail because: implementing controls consistently ignores necessary regional adaptations; allowing independent regional control definition risks inconsistency; and adopting regional regulations broadly creates inefficiency and potential operational issues.
