The Most Effective Way to Communicate Information Security Risk Impact

D.

The most effective way to communicate the level of impact of information security risks on organizational objectives is by presenting a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) results.

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is a critical component of an organization's Business Continuity Management (BCM) program. It is the process of analyzing business functions and the effect that a disruption might have on them. The purpose of a BIA is to identify critical business functions and the potential impact of a disruption to those functions. BIA provides a detailed understanding of the potential impact of an incident on an organization's critical business functions and allows for the development of a prioritized recovery strategy.

By presenting BIA results, an organization can effectively communicate the level of impact that information security risks could have on its business functions and, in turn, its objectives. BIA provides an in-depth analysis of the criticality of business functions, which helps in identifying and prioritizing risks based on their impact on business objectives.

Detailed threat analysis results and risk treatment options are useful for identifying and mitigating risks, but they may not provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of risks on organizational objectives. A risk heat map is a visual representation of risks, but it may not provide the level of detail required to communicate the impact of risks on organizational objectives.

Therefore, the best option is to present BIA results, which provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential impact of information security risks on critical business functions and organizational objectives.
