Which of the following describes the maximum allowance of accepted risk?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Risk threshold is the maximum amount of risk that an organization is willing to accept for a given activity or decision. It is also known as risk appetite or risk tolerance. Risk threshold helps an organization to prioritize and allocate resources for risk management. Risk indicator, risk level, and risk score are different ways of measuring or expressing the likelihood and impact of a risk, but they do not describe the maximum allowance of accepted risk.Reference:CompTIA Security+ Study Guide: Exam SY0-701, 9th Edition, page 34;Accepting Risk: Definition, How It Works, and Alternatives

Hmm, I'm not too sure about that. 'Risk score' seems like it could work too - that's a quantitative assessment of the level of risk, right? Tough call.

Haha, a risk trivia night sounds great. We can call it 'Risk it for the biscuit.' Anyway, I'm pretty sure D. Risk threshold is the right answer here. It's the top level of risk the organization deems acceptable.

I was leaning towards 'risk level' myself. Isn't that the measure of the potential for loss or harm? Seems like that could be the 'maximum allowance of accepted risk'.

I'm still a little fuzzy on the differences between all these terms. Maybe we should have a risk management trivia night to prepare for this exam. I'll bring the risk puns!

Yeah, me neither. But I think 'risk threshold' sounds like it could be the right answer. That's the maximum amount of risk an organization is willing to accept, right?

Oof, this question seems tricky. I'm not sure if I fully understand the difference between all these risk-related terms.

Hmm, I was leaning towards B. Risk level. Isn't that the scale or categorization of risk, like low, medium, high? But I could see how risk threshold is the better answer here.

Yeah, I agree with Francine. Risk threshold makes the most sense to me. The other options seem more like ways to measure or describe risk, not the actual maximum allowed.

I think the answer is D. Risk threshold. That's the maximum level of risk that an organization is willing to accept before taking action, right?
