Which of the following is the MOST important element of an information security strategy?

A.
Defined objectives

B.
Time frames for delivery

C.
Adoption of a control framework

D.
Complete policies

Explanation:
Without defined objectives, a strategy-the plan to achieve objectives-cannot be developed. Time frames for delivery are important but not critical for inclusion in the strategy document. Similarly, the adoption of a control framework is not critical to having a successful information security strategy. Policies are developed subsequent to, and as a part of, implementing a strategy.
