What is the most efficient means to provide assurance that company policies are in compliance with legal requirements?
Policy alignment to the most restrictive regulations
Annual approval by senior management on organizational policies
Periodic review by subject matter experts
Inclusion of a blanket legal statement in each policy
Counter point: The Selection "A." states alignment with REGULATIONS. If something is regulated, it is to be complete, according to the regulating authorities.
Previous Comment: The correct answer is Periodic review by subject matter experts. A. A blanket legal statement in each policy to adhere to all applicable laws and regulations is ineffective because the readers of the policy (internal personnel) will not know which statements are applicable or the specific nature of their requirements. As a result, personnel may lack the knowledge to perform the required activities for legal compliance. B. Periodic review of policies by personnel with specific knowledge of regulatory and legal requirements best ensures that organizational policies are aligned with legal requirements. C. Annual sign-off by senior management on an organization's policies helps set the tone at the top, but does not ensure that the policies comply with regulatory and legal requirements. D. Aligning policies to the most restrictive regulations may create an unacceptable financial burden for the organization. This could then lead to securing minimal risk systems to the same degree as those containing sensitive customer data and other information protected by legislation.
I suggest enforcing including references when posting a question and comments to them. Also, I think the author of the question should sign his comment so that it would be clear who provided the explanation EDIT: I agree that the answer should be "Policy alignment to the most restrictive regulations" since the wording of the question includes "most efficient". Policy alignment to the most restrictive legislation speaks to efficiency: We have to abide by state laws everywhere; but we do not tailor our PnPs to every state law. Rather, we write them in accord with the most restrictive state or federal legislation. Why? EFFICIENCY. Sure, all PnPs are subject to periodic review by SMEs, but that's not the efficient part. That just is. The efficient aspect of the review is the alignment with the strictest of regulations, versus having to address every law in your P&Ps
