During risk treatment, an organization chooses to deploy encryption and stricter access controls to reduce the chance that confidential data can be stolen. Which risk response strategy is it using?
Avoidance
Transference (risk sharing)
Mitigation (risk modification)
Acceptance (risk retention)
Implementing security controls such as encryption and access restrictions changes the environment so the threat is less likely to succeed or will cause less harm if it does. This approach is called risk mitigation (sometimes termed risk modification). Acceptance involves taking no action beyond monitoring, transference shifts the burden to a third party such as an insurer, and avoidance stops or never starts the risky activity altogether. Because the scenario shows the organization actively lowering likelihood and impact through controls, mitigation is the only fitting strategy.
