appointed CISO who reports directly to the CIO

You are a newly appointed CISO who reports directly to the CIO. In the past, the security team reported directly to the CIO. One of your first initiatives was to run a penetration test against the company to better understand its security posture. The results show that the company is severely lacking in security controls, putting the company at high risk for a breach. The CIO asks you about your pen test.

Working as a group, write a 1-page role-play script in Microsoft® Word depicting a conflict that may arise as you inform the CIO of the deficiencies and how you would turn a possible conflict into a positive interaction with recommendation for information security improvements.

Include the supporting roles of the senior security manager and/or information security auditor.

Cite all sources using APA guidelines.
