How does NIST say measurement strengthens governance?

  1. By providing data that identifies the personnel responsible for controls in specific components or systems, making accountability concrete
  2. By transferring the accountability to the measurement team, which then answers for the controls whose performance its own figures happen to describe
  3. By replacing the need for a governance committee altogether, since the figures themselves already record who did what and when each of them last did it
  4. By demonstrating compliance to the regulator

Answer: A. By providing data that identifies the personnel responsible for controls in specific components or systems, making accountability concrete

SP 800-55v1 states measurement can increase accountability and strengthen governance by providing data facilitating identification of the personnel responsible for controls implemented within specific organisational components or systems.
