[All Lead-Cybersecurity-Manager Questions]

Based on scenario 3, which risk treatment option did EsTeeMed select after analysing the Incident?

ARisk sharing

BRisk avoidance

CRisk retention

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

After analyzing the incident, EsteeMed decided to accept the actual risk level, deeming the likelihood of a similar incident occurring in the future as low and considering the existing security measures as sufficient. This decision indicates that EsteeMed selected the risk treatment option of risk retention, where the organization accepts the risk and continues operations without additional measures.

ISO/IEC 27005:2018 - Provides guidelines for information security risk management and details various risk treatment options, including risk retention, where risks are accepted by the organization.

NIST SP 800-39 - Managing Information Security Risk, which discusses risk management strategies including risk retention.

C) Risk retention seems risky. Why keep the risk if you can avoid it?

I feel like A) Risk sharing could be a good option too. Sharing the burden can help.

I think it's B) Risk avoidance. It makes sense to eliminate the risk entirely.
