CISSP study material · question 112 of 500

A newcomer to CSF 2.0 asks why the Govern Function is drawn at the centre of the wheel rather than as the first step in a sequence. What is the reason?

  1. Govern must be completed before the other Functions may begin.
  2. Govern replaces the Identify Function used in earlier versions.
  3. Govern informs how the organisation carries out the other five Functions.
  4. Govern is the only Function that applies to operational technology.
Show the answer

Answer: C. Govern informs how the organisation carries out the other five Functions.

Govern is central because it shapes how the other five Functions are carried out, given the mission and stakeholder expectations. It is not a first step.
