For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Define scope, then identify controls, then assess effectiveness, then identify gaps, then report results
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because CSA starts with defining the scope of the assessment, then identifying the controls in place, assessing their effectiveness, identifying any gaps, and finally reporting the findings.
