D. Status of identified key security risks To facilitate senior management's understanding of the impact on the organization, the most relevant information to include in an information security risk report is the status of identified key security risks. Senior management needs concise and significant information that directly relates to the organization's strategic objectives and operational integrity. Providing them with the current status of key security risks (including their severity, potential impact on business operations, and the measures taken or proposed for mitigation) directly supports strategic decision-making. This information allows senior management to gauge how these risks might affect the organization's goals and what actions are needed to address them. Unlike the detailed technical specifics which might be less accessible to individuals without a technical background (options A, B, and C), focusing on the status of key risks provides a clear and immediate connection to business outcomes and priorities.

A detailed assessment of the security risk profile, while comprehensive, may be too granular for senior management's level of understanding. Risks inherent in new security technologies may be relevant to long-term planning but not for immediate decision-making. Findings from recent penetration testing, while valuable, may require more technical expertise to interpret and contextualize. The status of identified key security risks, however, provides a direct and actionable update on the organization's most critical security concerns. It allows senior management to understand the progress made in mitigating these risks, identify any areas requiring additional attention, and make informed decisions about resource allocation and risk management strategies.

Its C only pen test reason :- The results of a Penetration Testing (PT) or Incident Response Process (IRP) relies heavily on security risk reports. Once the Penetration Testing is performed successfully, the analysts would create a report based on the findings of the test. After that, the security risk report would demonstrate what was discovered and what recommendations were provided, as well as ensuring that the risks were mitigated or eliminated altogether and findings of IP or IRP were conclusive.
