A balanced scorecard enables information security governance by providing a framework for aligning security objectives with business goals and measuring performance against them. The other choices are not directly related to governance but may be supported by it. A balanced scorecard is a strategic management tool that describes the cause-and-effect linkages between four high-level perspectives of strategy and execution: financial, customer, internal process, and learning and growth2. It helps organizations communicate and monitor their vision and strategy across different levels and functions2.
