Explanation:
Organizations create different security plans to address different scenarios. Many of the security plans are common to most organizations.
Most used security plans found in many organizations are:
* Business continuity plan
* Disaster recovery plan
* Backup plan
* Incident response plan
Incorrect Answers:
D: Project management plan is not a security plan, but a plan which describes the implementation of the project.

* Information systems control deficiencies are the weaknesses or flaws in the design or implementation of the controls that are intended to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and reliability of the information systems and resources. Information systems control deficiencies may reduce the effectiveness or efficiency of the controls, and expose the organization to various risks, such as unauthorized access, data loss, system failure, etc.
* Reviewing results from control self-assessment (CSA) is the best way to identify information systems control deficiencies, because CSA is a process of evaluating and verifying the adequacy and effectiveness of the information systems controls, using the input and feedback from the individuals or groups that are involved or responsible for the information systems activities or functions. CSA can help the organization to identify and document the information systems control deficiencies, and to align them with the organization's information systems objectives and requirements.
* CSA can be performed using various techniques, such as questionnaires, surveys, interviews, workshops, etc. CSA can also be integrated with the organization's governance, risk management, and compliance functions, and aligned with the organization's policies and standards.
* The other options are not the best ways to identify information systems control deficiencies, because they do not provide the same level of detail and insight that CSA provides, and they may not be relevant or actionable for the organization.
* Vulnerability and threat analysis is a process of identifying and evaluating the weaknesses or flaws in the organization's assets, processes, or systems that can be exploited or compromised by the potential threats or sources of harm that may affect the organization's objectives or operations.
Vulnerability and threat analysis can help the organization to assess and prioritize the risks, and to design and implement appropriate controls or countermeasures to mitigate or prevent the risks, but it is not the best way to identify information systems control deficiencies, because it does not indicate whether the existing information systems controls are adequate and effective, and whether they comply with the organization's policies and standards.
* Control remediation planning is a process of selecting and implementing the actions or plans to address or correct the information systems control deficiencies that have been identified, analyzed, and evaluated. Control remediation planning involves choosing one of the following types of control responses: mitigate, transfer, avoid, or accept. Control remediation planning can help the organization to improve and optimize the information systems controls, and to reduce or eliminate the information systems control deficiencies, but it is not the best way to identify information systems control deficiencies, because it is a subsequent or follow-up process that depends on the prior identification of the information systems control deficiencies.
* User acceptance testing (UAT) is a process of verifying and validating the functionality and usability of the information systems and resources, using the input and feedback from the end users or customers that interact with the information systems and resources. UAT can help the organization to ensure that the information systems and resources meet the user or customer expectations and requirements, and to identify and resolve any issues or defects that may affect the user or customer satisfaction, but it is not the best way to identify information systems control deficiencies, because it does not focus on the information systems controls, and it may not cover all the relevant or significant information systems control deficiencies that may exist or arise.

As David did not engaged in e-commerce in order to avoid risk, hence he is following risk avoidance strategy.

Implement compensating controls until the preferred action can be completed, because it helps to reduce the residual risk to an acceptable level, while allowing the preferred action to be delayed or postponed. A risk treatment plan is a document that describes the actions and resources required to implement the chosen risk response strategy for a specific risk. A risk response strategy is a course of action that is selected to address a risk, such as avoid, transfer, mitigate, or accept. A compensating control is a control that provides an alternative or additional measure of protection or assurance, when the primary or preferred control is not feasible or effective. Implementing compensating controls is the best approach, as it helps to maintain the risk management process and objectives, and to avoid or minimize the negative consequences of the delay or postponement of the preferred action.
Developing additional key risk indicators (KRIs), replacing the action owner with a more experienced individual, and changing the risk response strategy of the relevant risk to risk avoidance are all possible approaches when a risk treatment plan cannot be completed on time, but they are not the best approach, as they may not address the residual risk level, and they may introduce new risks or issues.
