QuestionQ1738

Risk Assessment

A move from an internally developed system to an external cloud-based solution is affecting a previously rated key risk scenario involving payroll processing. Which component of the risk register should be updated FIRST?

  • A Payroll system risk factors
  • B Payroll system risk mitigation plans
  • C Payroll administrative controls
  • D Payroll process owner
Explanation

Risk factors define the circumstances, threats, vulnerabilities, and conditions underlying a risk scenario. Moving payroll processing to an external cloud-based solution changes those factors, so they must be updated before reassessing mitigation plans, administrative controls, or the process owner.
