CRISC Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control – Question304

You are the project manager of GRT project.

If your organization seizes this opportunity, it would be an example of what risk response?

A.
Enhance
B. Exploit
C. Accept
D. Share

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Explanation:
Exploit response is one of the strategies to negate risks or threats that appear in a project. This strategy may be selected for risks with positive impacts where the organization wishes to ensure that the opportunity is realized. Exploiting a risk event provides opportunities for positive impact on a project. Assigning more talented resources to the project to reduce the time to completion is an example of exploit response.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The enhance strategy closely watches the probability or impact of the risk event to assure that the organization realizes the benefits. The primary point of this strategy is to attempt to increase the probability and/or impact of positive
C: Risk acceptance means that no action is taken relative to a particular risk; loss is accepted if it occurs.
D: The share strategy is similar as transfer because in this a portion of the risk is shared with an external organization or another internal entity.

During which of the following processes, probability and impact matrix are prepared?

A.
Risk response
B. Monitoring and Control Risk
C. Quantitative risk assessment
D. Qualitative risk assessment

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

A.
To determine the present state of risk
B. To analyze the effect on the business
C. To satisfy regulatory requirements
D. To budget appropriately for the application of various controls

Correct Answer: A

Risk assessment is a process of analyzing the identified risk, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitative risk assessment requires calculations of two components of risk, the magnitude of the potential loss, and the probability that the loss will occur. While qualitatively risk assessment checks the severity of risk. Hence risk assessment helps in determining the present state of the risk.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Analyzing the effect of risk on an enterprise is the part of the process while performing risk assessment, but is not the reason for doing it.
C: Performing risk assessment may satisfy the regulatory requirements, but is not the reason to perform risk assessment.
