Which term encompasses an entity plus its parents, subsidiaries, divisions, and branch offices?

• A. Corporate Family
• B. Corporation
• C. CUI
• D. Control Markings

Answer: (A)

When looking at how policies and security controls apply across an organization, you want a term that covers every part of the business under common ownership and control—the parent company, its subsidiaries, divisions, and branch offices. That term is corporate family. It denotes the entire network of related entities under one governance umbrella, not just a single legal entity. A corporation, by contrast, refers to one separate legal entity, not the whole group. CUI and control markings are about data classification and labeling, not organizational scope. So corporate family is the best choice because it specifically encompasses the entity plus its parents, subsidiaries, divisions, and branch offices.
