Who is responsible for collecting, recording, and storing the data needed for risk measurement?
AnswerA
ExplanationThe correct answer is A. Information collectors. ISO 31000 highlights the importance of clearly defined roles and responsibilities within the monitoring and review process, particularly in relation to data and information management.
Information collectors are responsible for gathering, recording, and storing data used for risk measurement and monitoring. This includes capturing data related to risk indicators, incidents, control performance, audits, inspections, and other relevant sources. Their role ensures that data is accurate, timely, and available for analysis and reporting.
Measurement clients use the results of risk measurement to support decisions but are not responsible for collecting or storing data. Information owners are accountable for the quality, integrity, and authorized use of information, but not necessarily for its day-to-day collection. Risk owners are accountable for managing specific risks, not for operating the data collection process.
From a PECB ISO 31000 Lead Risk Manager perspective, assigning clear responsibility for data collection improves reliability, traceability, and consistency in monitoring and review activities. Therefore, the correct answer is Information collectors.
