HRCI PHR Exam - Topic 3 Question 11 Discussion

Posted by Nana on May 08, 2022 at 11:25 AM

An organization is considering services it can successfully provide to its customers. One of the services, however, is deemed to be difficult to offer with a high degree of certainty of success. The organization has decided not to offer the service because of the risk in offering the service, and failing. What risk response is used in this scenario?

Suggested Answer: C

This is an example of the avoidance risk response. Avoidance are preventive actions, workarounds, and decisions to avoid a negative risk event.

Answer option A is incorrect. Transference is a risk response that transfers the risk to a third party - usually for a fee.

Answer option D is incorrect. Mitigation is a risk response to reduce the probability and/or impact of a negative risk event.

Answer option B is incorrect. Sharing is a risk response that shares a positive risk event with another party.

Yeah, they’re just playing it safe by not offering that service.

I thought mitigation was the answer, but avoidance makes sense too.

Wait, are they really avoiding it? Seems risky to just skip it.

I was confused about mitigation and avoidance, but I think avoidance is correct since they chose not to take the risk at all.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about transference being when you shift the risk to another party.

I think this is about risk avoidance since the organization decided not to offer the service at all.

This sounds similar to a practice question we did on risk responses, and I feel like avoidance fits best here.

Dictionary attack is the obvious choice here. Weak passwords + no complexity = prime target for brute force dictionary attacks to crack the system.

Okay, let me think this through. A group incentive plan is designed to motivate the whole team or department, not just individual employees. So I'm going to go with C, the gainsharing plan, as the best answer here.

I'm pretty sure it's Ctrl+P, that's the standard shortcut for accessing previous commands in most command-line interfaces.
