The PRIMARY benefit to an organization when information security program requirements are aligned with employment and staffing processes is that access is granted based on task requirements. This means that the organization can ensure that the employees have the appropriate level and scope of access to the information assets and systems that they need to perform their duties, and that the access is granted, reviewed, and revoked in accordance with the security policies and standards. This can help to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, or leakage of information, as well as to comply with the principle of least privilege and the segregation of duties12. Security incident reporting procedures are followed (A) is a benefit to an organization when information security program requirements are aligned with employment and staffing processes, but it is not the PRIMARY benefit. Security incident reporting procedures are the steps and guidelines that the employees should follow when they detect, report, or respond to a security incident. Aligning the information security program requirements with the employment and staffing processes can help to ensure that the employees are aware of and trained on the security incident reporting procedures, and that they are enforced and monitored by the management. This can help to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the incident response process, as well as to comply with the legal and contractual obligations12. Security staff turnover is reduced (B) is a benefit to an organization when information security program requirements are aligned with employment and staffing processes, but it is not the PRIMARY benefit. Security staff turnover is the rate at which the security personnel leave or join the organization. Aligning the information security program requirements with the employment and staffing processes can help to reduce the security staff turnover by ensuring that the security roles and responsibilities are clearly defined and communicated, that the security personnel are adequately compensated and motivated, and that the security personnel are evaluated and developed regularly. This can help to retain the security talent and expertise, as well as to reduce the costs and risks associated with the security staff turnover12. Information assets are classified appropriately © is a benefit to an organization when information security program requirements are aligned with employment and staffing processes, but it is not the PRIMARY benefit. Information asset classification is the process of assigning a security level or category to the information assets based on their value, sensitivity, and criticality to the organization. Aligning the information security program requirements with the employment and staffing processes can help to ensure that the information assets are classified appropriately by establishing the ownership and custody of the information assets, the criteria and methods for the information asset classification, and the roles and responsibilities for the information asset classification. This can help to protect the information assets according to their security level or category, as well as to comply with the regulatory and contractual requirements12. References = 1: CISM Review Manual 15th Edition, page 75-76, 81-82, 88-89, 93-941; 2: CISM Domain 1: Information Security Governance (ISG) [2022 update]2
