QuestionQ972

Risk Assessment

Who, among the following, should be responsible for determining an application's inherent risk rating?

  • A Application owner
  • B Senior management
  • C Business process owner
  • D Risk practitioner
Explanation

An inherent risk rating reflects the level of exposure before mitigating controls and is driven by the potential effect on the business process, including operational, financial, regulatory, and customer impacts. The business process owner is accountable for that process and is best positioned to determine those impacts; risk practitioners support the assessment and senior management oversees risk governance. ISACA describes risk owners as business owners and operations managers who manage risk scenarios within their business areas.
