The most important information for influencing management's support of information security is an demonstration of alignment with the business strategy because it shows how information security contributes to the achievement of the organization's goals and objectives, and adds value to the organization's performance and competitiveness. An identification of the overall threat landscape is not very important because it does not indicate how information security addresses or mitigates the threats or risks. A report of a successful attack on a competitor is not very important because it does not indicate how information security prevents or responds to such attacks. An identification of organizational risks is not very important because it does not indicate how information security manages or reduces the risks. References: https://www.isaca.org
