Explanation
The Incident Response Coordinator (D) and Compliance Manager (F) are the two most critical stakeholders for a SCADA authentication deployment. SCADA systems in critical infrastructure are subject to strict regulatory frameworks (e.g., NERC CIP for energy, ICS-CERT guidelines). The Compliance Manager must verify that the new authentication configuration satisfies all applicable regulatory requirements before the system goes live. The Incident Response Coordinator must be involved to ensure that IR runbooks, detection procedures, and escalation paths are updated to reflect the new authentication system and its potential failure modes or attack vectors. Network engineers handle infrastructure configuration but are not governance stakeholders for compliance and IR readiness.
