Why each option

To establish effective information asset governance, a new CIO should first review existing information classification procedures to understand how assets are categorized and protected.

AQuantify the business value of information assets

Quantifying business value is a later step in asset management, not the initial step for establishing governance procedures.

BPerform an information gap analysis

Performing an information gap analysis is a broader activity that might follow after understanding the basic classification and governance frameworks.

CReview information classification proceduresCorrect

Reviewing information classification procedures is the most fundamental first step because effective governance of information assets depends on understanding how they are currently categorized and what level of protection or handling they require based on their classification.

DEvaluate information access methods

Evaluating information access methods is a control-specific task that depends on the prior understanding of information classification and governance policies.
