Explanation

A Subject Matter Expert (SME) is the appropriate role for providing technical direction in a specialized domain. Since the project manager comes from a construction background and has no IT security expertise, a Security SME fills the critical technical knowledge gap by guiding technical decisions, validating technical requirements, and advising on security-specific matters throughout the project. A business analyst (B) focuses on requirements, not technical direction. A project scheduler (C) manages timelines. The project sponsor (D) provides funding and executive support, not technical guidance.
