Original concept check
A business unit proposes a new control that lowers one risk but creates a major availability problem. What should the security lead do first?
Answer: Assess the tradeoff with the business owner against the organization's risk appetite and requirements. Security architecture is a risk-management decision. A technically strong control can still be unsuitable if it prevents a critical business process.
