You are using a simple qualitative model where risk = likelihood score × impact score. A system's inherent likelihood is 6 and impact is 4. Implemented controls are estimated to cut likelihood by 50 % and impact by 25 %. What residual risk score should you document?
18
9
24
12
The inherent risk score is 6 × 4 = 24. After controls, the likelihood is reduced by 50 % (6 × 0.5 = 3) and the impact by 25 % (4 × 0.75 = 3). Residual risk is the product of the new likelihood and impact values, so 3 × 3 = 9. The other choices reflect the untreated risk (24) or partial calculations that adjust only one of the two factors (12 or 18).
