Correct answer & explanation

Policy development starts with gap analysis, drafting, stakeholder review, approval, and communication.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Gap analysis, then Drafting, then Stakeholder review, then Approval, then Communication
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because policy development begins with identifying gaps between current and desired security posture (gap analysis), then drafting the policy, followed by review by stakeholders, obtaining formal approval, and finally communicating the policy to the organization.
- ✗
Drafting, then Gap analysis, then Stakeholder review, then Approval, then Communication
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because drafting the policy before conducting a gap analysis lacks the necessary understanding of current security deficiencies and requirements, leading to a potentially ineffective policy.
- ✗
Gap analysis, then Drafting, then Stakeholder review, then Communication, then Approval
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because communicating the policy before formal approval undermines authority and may cause confusion. Approval must precede communication to ensure the policy is endorsed and enforceable.
- ✗
Stakeholder review, then Gap analysis, then Drafting, then Approval, then Communication
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because stakeholder review should occur after drafting, not before gap analysis. Engaging stakeholders without a draft or identified gaps is premature and inefficient.
