ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

After completing control assessments, your team documents eleven residual risks. Budget allows addressing only three in the next quarter. Which approach best aligns with established risk management practice for deciding which risks should receive mitigation resources first?

  • Prioritize the risks that auditors highlighted in last year's report, regardless of their current business impact.

  • Choose the risks that can be remediated in the shortest time to demonstrate rapid progress to executives.

  • Select the risks tied to systems that are already scheduled for maintenance to minimize additional downtime.

  • Combine the estimated likelihood and potential impact of each risk to assign a severity score, then address the highest scores first.
