The cost of implementing security controls should not exceed the worth of the asset. Annualized loss expectancy represents the losses drat are expected to happen during a single calendar year. A security mechanism may cost more than this amount (or the cost of a single incident) and still be considered cost effective. Opportunity costs relate to revenue lost by forgoing the acquisition of an item or the making of a business decision.

A standardized security control is a set of rules, guidelines, or best practices that are designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets and systems. An information security framework is a collection of standardized security controls that are aligned with the organization's objectives, strategy, and risk appetite. Adopting an information security framework provides a primary benefit of ensuring consistency, efficiency, and effectiveness in the implementation and management of information security across the organization.

Security awareness training should occur before access is granted to ensure the new employee understands that security is part of the system and business process. All other choices imply that security awareness training is delivered subsequent to the granting of system access, which may place security as a secondary step.
