Explanation

Management support has the greatest impact on the success of an information security roadmap because it ensures that security initiatives receive funding, prioritization, and organizational buy- in. Without strong leadership backing, security efforts may struggle with enforcement, resource allocation, and strategic alignment. While regulatory requirements, resource availability, and the threat landscape influence security planning, they are secondary to management’s commitment, which ultimately determines the roadmap’s execution and effectiveness.
