Question No: 2

A risk management program would be expected to:

A. remove all inherent risk.

B. maintain residual risk at an acceptable level.

C. implement preventive controls for every threat.

D. reduce control risk to zero.

Answer: B

Explanation:

The object of risk management is to ensure that all residual risk is maintained at a level acceptable to the business; it is not intended to remove every identified risk or implement controls for every threat since this may not be cost-effective. Control risk, i.e., that a control may not be effective, is a component of the program but is unlikely to be reduced to zero.
