During an organization's change management process, a newly proposed security measure is about to be implemented. Which of the following actions would BEST ensure that the change aligns with the organization's security policies and operational impact is minimized?
You selected this option
Conduct a thorough impact analysis to evaluate the effects on current operations and compliance with security guidelines.
You selected this option
Enforce strict version control to track the changes being made.
You selected this option
Develop a comprehensive backout plan in case the implementation fails.
You selected this option
Execute a series of tests to validate the functionality of the proposed measure.
You selected this option
Immediately update all documentation to reflect the proposed changes.
You selected this option
Secure approval from top management to proceed with the implementation.
Having a comprehensive impact analysis will ensure that the measure aligns with the organization's security policies and operational impact is anticipated and minimized. It identifies the potential repercussions on existing systems and processes and contributes to informed decision-making. Simply obtaining approval or generating test results does not provide a complete picture of the impact. The backout plan is necessary for recovery but does not help in aligning with policies. Updating documentation or version control practices are part of the process but are not central to aligning changes with security policies or minimizing operational impact.
