The most effective outcome of a thorough process assessment in the context of network security is the elaboration of a detailed action plan that not only identifies gaps and inefficiencies in current security protocols but also proposes specific, tactical improvements for the organization to implement. The crafting of an action plan based on the assessment's findings provides clear guidance on addressing shortcomings and optimally reinforces the network's defenses. Revised training procedures alone or minor adjustments to low-impact processes may not encapsulate a comprehensive approach for security enhancement. Revising financial audit practices may improve overall process efficiency but doesn't specifically target network security measures that may be at risk.
