QuestionQ1434

Risk Assessment

Which of the following circumstances creates the GREATEST challenge when developing a comprehensive IT risk profile for an organization?

  • A Manual vulnerability scanning processes
  • B Inaccurate documentation of enterprise architecture (EA)
  • C Organizational reliance on third-party service providers
  • D Risk-averse organizational risk appetite
Explanation

Accurate enterprise-architecture documentation is the baseline for identifying assets, systems, interfaces, data flows, ownership, and dependencies that must be assessed. When that documentation is inaccurate, material risks can be omitted or mischaracterized across the organization, preventing a comprehensive IT risk profile. Third-party services increase assessment complexity but are themselves an identifiable risk domain that can be incorporated into the profile.
