Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
A. Providing guidance on how to organize and monitor performance of I&T across the enterprise is a key benefit for internal stakeholders rather than external stakeholders. External stakeholders are more concerned with the outcomes and assurance provided by COBIT rather than the internal organization and monitoring aspects.
B. While managing dependency on external service providers and getting assurance over IT is important, it is not the MOST important benefit that external stakeholders gain from COBIT. External stakeholders are more focused on the security, reliability, and compliance of operations rather than dependency management.
C. Ensuring that their operations are secure, reliable, and compliant with applicable rules and regulations is the MOST important benefit that external stakeholders gain from COBIT. External stakeholders rely on COBIT to provide assurance that their interactions with the organization are conducted in a secure, compliant, and reliable manner.
