  • Dused to promote the importance of the security department.

Explanation

Effective security awareness programs must be role-appropriate. A developer, an HR administrator, a data entry clerk, and a C-suite executive all interact with sensitive data differently and face different threats. Customizing training content by department and role ensures relevance and better retention - employees are more likely to apply security principles when examples match their actual workflows. Option A restricts training to only data handling staff and top management presenting it is impractical for a large company. Option C's purely technical approach would alienate non-technical staff who also handle sensitive data. Option D's goal of promoting the security department is self-serving and not the purpose of an awareness program.
