Exam CISM topic 1 question 416 discussion

I say C, it is most important to have a clearly defined risk treatment process. The risk treatment process is essential because it outlines how identified risks will be managed—whether they will be mitigated, transferred, accepted, or avoided. A defined process ensures that risks are addressed consistently and in alignment with the organization’s risk tolerance and strategic objectives. This provides a structured approach to prioritize and manage security risks effectively as they are identified, forming the foundation of a functional security risk management program.

Established governance should be leveraged. Governance is task of highermanagement, so it eliminate answer B

A - While business unit approval is a significant aspect of the risk management process, ensuring that the methodology follows an established framework is more critical for effective, standardized, and comprehensive risk management across the organization.

INTEGRATING means "actions from different stakeholders"... Business Units alignment is crucial

At the end of the day, above all, the changes need to be documented.

I like C here.

Option A

i vote .....A. the risk management methodology follows an established framework.

Business Units approval is important. Following just a framework might not be acceptable to the organization as it does not fit them.

the MOST important when integrating security risk management, it would be "information security policies are documented and understood. Option D.

For the ISACA CISM exam, the MOST important aspect when integrating security risk management into an organization is D. information security policies are documented and understood. While all the options mentioned are important for effective security risk management, ensuring that information security policies are documented and understood is the foundation upon which the entire risk management process is built. Information security policies provide the guiding principles and objectives for managing risk within the organization. They establish the framework within which risk assessments, risk treatment, and risk monitoring activities take place.

Answer is A. When integrating security risk management into an organization, it is essential to ensure that the risk management methodology follows an established framework. An established framework provides a structure for risk management and ensures consistency in risk management practices. It also enables the organization to comply with legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements. While the other options are important, they are secondary to the importance of ensuring that the risk management methodology follows an established framework.

B. A riskt treatment plan is part of a risk methodology, so C is part of it but not complete. As a leader you want to make sure the other business leaders approve of the risk management methodology that you use. This helps in the future event they don't like a finding or a gap that you've identified.

When integrating security risk management into an organization, it is most important to ensure that the risk treatment process is defined. The risk treatment process involves evaluating the risks identified during the risk assessment phase, determining the appropriate response to those risks, and implementing the chosen responses. This process should be well defined so that all stakeholders understand how risks will be managed and what actions will be taken in response to specific risks. While it is important for the risk management methodology to follow an established framework, for business units to approve the methodology, and for information security policies to be documented and understood, defining the risk treatment process is the most critical factor in ensuring that the risk management process is effective and consistent.
