Identifying residual risk is MOST important to which of the following concepts?

  • A. Risk deterrence
  • B. Risk acceptance
  • C. Risk mitigation
  • D. Risk avoidance
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Risk acceptance is often the choice you must make when the cost of implementing any of the other four choices exceeds the value of the harm that would occur if the risk came to fruition. To truly qualify as acceptance, it cannot be a risk where the administrator or manager is unaware of its existence; it has to be an identified risk for which those involved understand the potential cost or damage and agree to accept it. Residual risk is always present and will remain a risk thus it should be accepted (risk acceptance)

Selected Answer: C
Residual risk is the level of cyber risk remaining after all your security controls are accounted for, any threats have been addressed and the organization is meeting security standards. It's the risk that slips through the cracks of your system. Inherent risk, on the other hand, is the risk when there are no controls in place and organizations have no plan or system to mitigate threats and cyber incidents.
