Which of the following is the MOST significant challenge faced by an enterprise when establishing information stewardship?

While a lack of documented policies and procedures is a problem, it can be addressed once roles and responsibilities for creating and enforcing those policies are clear.

Meeting regulatory information requirements is a key objective of information stewardship, but the challenge is often in defining who is responsible for meeting those requirements, which points back to role clarity.

Insufficient knowledge of IT practices and controls can hinder implementation, but it can be remedied through training once the roles needing that knowledge are clearly defined.

Information stewardship fundamentally relies on assigning clear ownership, accountability, and specific responsibilities for information assets throughout their lifecycle. Without defined roles, there is confusion over who is responsible for data quality, security, and compliance, making effective governance impossible and preventing proper decision-making and enforcement of information management policies.
