Exam CRISC topic 1 question 576 discussion

Repeatable - A KRI must be repeatable and able to be measured on a regular basis to show trends and patterns in activity and results.

C. Quantitative measurements are used for key risk indicators (KRIs). Using quantitative measurements for KRIs allows for precise, objective, and consistent tracking of risk levels over time. Quantitative data can be easily compared and analyzed to identify patterns, trends, and changes in risk exposure. This approach provides clear, measurable insights that are essential for effective risk management and decision-making. While repeatable measurements, qualitative definitions, and positive correlations between risk levels and KRIs are important, the use of quantitative measurements is most effective for accurately identifying and monitoring trends in risk levels.

A. Measurements for key risk indicators (KRIs) are repeatable. The best way to enable the identification of trends in risk levels is to ensure that "A. Measurements for key risk indicators (KRIs) are repeatable." By having consistent and repeatable measurements for KRIs over time, you can track changes in risk levels and identify trends. Consistency in measuring the same indicators allows for meaningful comparisons and the detection of patterns or shifts in risk over various time periods. While other options (qualitative definitions for KRIs, quantitative measurements for KRIs, positive correlation between risk levels and KRIs) are relevant to risk management and KRI usage, having repeatable measurements provides the foundation for effective trend analysis and risk monitoring.

A. Trends require repeated data over time.

Page 185 of ISACA 7th edition manual says - KRIs - Repeatable - can be measured on regular basis to show trends and patterns in activity and results. Hence my choice is A

Agree 'A'.

should be C

A is correct.

Repeatable is correct. See R4-102

C is the correct answer. KRI (metrics) should be SMART - specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely. Measurable means the KRI should quantitative. I understand why repeatable is also an acceptable answer, but overall, I think C (quantitative) is a better answer according to ISACA.

Should be A
