Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

In environments with high compliance requirements, managing risk is crucial to avoid legal penalties, financial losses, and reputational damage. The 'Managed risk' objective ensures that risks related to compliance are identified, assessed, and mitigated effectively.

COBIT 2019 Framework Reference:

COBIT 2019 Framework: Governance and Management Objectives, APO12 Managed Risk: This objective focuses on establishing a risk management framework to identify and mitigate risks, including those related to compliance.

COBIT 2019 Design Guide, Chapter 2: Emphasizes the importance of managing risk in environments with high compliance requirements.

Prioritizing 'Managed risk' ensures that the enterprise has robust processes in place to manage compliance-related risks, thereby safeguarding the organization against potential regulatory issues.

I’m leaning towards Turnaround, but I’m not confident. It feels like it’s more about recovery than dependency on IT.

Factory seems like it could be important too, but I can't recall if it really demonstrates enterprise dependency as much as Strategic does.

I remember practicing a similar question where we discussed how the Support role is crucial, but I feel like it might not be the highest level of dependency.

I think the Strategic role might show the highest dependency because it aligns IT with overall business goals, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm confident I can solve this. The "Strategic" role of IT is the one that is most critical to the enterprise, as it directly supports the company's high-level objectives and decision-making.

Okay, I think I know the answer to this. The "Strategic" role of IT would have the highest enterprise dependency, since it's closely tied to the overall business strategy and direction of the organization.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem to be describing different IT roles, but I'm not sure which one would have the highest enterprise dependency. I'll need to review my notes on this topic.

This question seems to be asking about the different roles of IT and how they relate to enterprise dependency. I'll need to think carefully about the definitions of each role and how they differ in terms of enterprise dependency.

I hear the IT department has a new slogan: 'We're not just the factory, we're the whole darn assembly line!'

Haha, I bet the exam writers are just trying to confuse us. It's probably B) Strategic, but who knows? Maybe they'll throw in a curveball and make it something completely unexpected.

I see your point, but I still think D) Factory is the most dependent on IT since that's where the actual IT operations take place.
