An organization has acquired a company in a foreign country to gain an advantage in a new market. Which of the following is the FIRST step the information security manager should take?
A.
Determine which country's information security regulations will be used.
B.
Merge the two existing information security programs.
C.
Apply the existing information security program to the acquired company.
D.
Evaluate the information security laws that apply to the acquired company.
The information security manager should first evaluate the information security laws that apply to the acquired company, as they may differ from the laws of the parent organization. This will help the information security manager to understand the legal and regulatory requirements, risks, and challenges that the acquired company faces in its operating environment. The information security manager can then determine the best approach to align the information security programs of the two entities, taking into account the different laws and regulations, as well as the business objectives and strategies of the acquisition.
