QuestionQ202

Risk Optimization

An enterprise has chosen to perform a risk self-assessment to identify opportunities to improve its current IT services. Which of the following is MOST important to address in the assessment?

  • A IT capability and performance measures
  • B Mapping of business objectives to IT risk
  • C Residual IT risk
  • D Related business risk
Explanation

IT risk is business risk associated with the use and operation of IT. A risk self-assessment should therefore address the related business risk first, so improvement opportunities for IT services can be prioritized by their potential business impact and aligned with enterprise risk management. Residual risk, capability measures, and mappings are useful assessment artifacts but do not replace evaluating the business risk the service may create.
