Primary Use of KRIs:
KRIs are primarily used to predict risk events by providing measurable data that signals potential issues.
This predictive capability helps organizations to mitigate risks before they escalate.
Risk Prediction:
Effective KRIs allow organizations to foresee potential risks and implement measures to address them proactively.
This improves the overall risk management process by reducing the likelihood and impact of risk events.
ISA 315 (Revised 2019), Anlage 6 emphasizes the use of indicators and metrics to monitor and predict risks within an organization's IT and operational environments.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Is the "PRIMARILY" part important, or is any of the options a valid purpose for a KRI?
