Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 322

Which of the following would provide the MOST useful information to understand the associated risks when implementing a new digital transformation strategy?

Answer options

• A. Risk framework
• B. Risk heat map
• C. Risk register
• D. Risk policy

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A Risk heat map visually represents the likelihood and impact of various risks, making it the most effective tool for understanding the risks of a digital transformation strategy. While a Risk framework provides guidelines, a Risk register lists identified risks, and a Risk policy outlines the approach to managing risks, none of these formats offer the same immediate visual clarity as a heat map.
