ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While finalizing the POA&M, the risk executive and the system owner agree that the projected financial impact of a ransomware incident exceeds the organization's risk tolerance, so they opt for risk transfer. Which action should they present to stakeholders for concurrence with this treatment strategy?
Implement full-disk encryption on all servers that store sensitive data
Purchase a cyber-liability insurance policy that covers ransomware-related losses
Shut down the system and migrate all workloads in-house to eliminate external exposure
Record the outstanding control gaps in the risk register and accept the risk as is
Risk transfer shifts the potential impact of a threat to a third party rather than reducing the likelihood or simply accepting it. Purchasing a cyber-liability insurance policy is a classic example because the financial consequences of an incident are contractually assumed by the insurer. Encrypting servers is risk mitigation, shutting the system down is risk avoidance, and formally noting the gap without action is risk acceptance-none of which transfer the risk to another entity.
