Why each option

The IT Security Manager is the role responsible for maintaining CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) of IT services at the levels defined in the SLA.

AThe Change Manager

The Change Manager controls the lifecycle of changes to IT infrastructure and services, not security posture or CIA guarantees.

BThe IT Security ManagerCorrect

The IT Security Manager in the ITIL framework is specifically tasked with ensuring that information security policies are implemented and that CIA of services are maintained at agreed-upon SLA levels. This role owns security risk management and ensures protective controls meet contractual obligations. The other roles do not carry this CIA responsibility.

CThe Configuration Manager

The Configuration Manager maintains the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) and tracks configuration items, which is unrelated to enforcing CIA at SLA levels.

DThe Service Level Manager

The Service Level Manager negotiates, documents, and monitors SLAs, but does not directly ensure the CIA of services - that enforcement belongs to the IT Security Manager.
