Which sequence BEST reflects the stages of a risk management process?
- AResponse, then identification, then closure, then analysis
- BClosure, then identification, then analysis, then response
- CAnalysis, then closure, then identification, then response
- DIdentification, analysis, response and closure✓
Answer: A risk management process typically begins with identifying risks, analysing their probability and impact, planning and implementing responses, and then closing risks once they no longer apply.
Which of the following is a recognised PROACTIVE response to a threat (negative risk)?
- AExploit, to make a beneficial outcome certain to occur
- BAvoid, by removing the cause of the threat entirely✓
- CEnhance, to increase the probability of the opportunity
- DReject, deciding not to pursue a potential gain
Answer: Standard threat responses include avoid, reduce, transfer and accept; avoid is a proactive response that removes the threat altogether, typically by changing the approach so that its cause no longer applies. Exploit, enhance and reject are responses to opportunities, not threats.
