Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 1002

Which of the following is the BEST indicator of the effectiveness of a control action plan's implementation?

Answer options

• A. Increased risk appetite
• B. Increased number of controls
• C. Reduced risk level
• D. Stakeholder commitment

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a reduced risk level directly demonstrates the effectiveness of the control action plan in mitigating risks. The other options, such as increased risk appetite or number of controls, do not necessarily indicate successful implementation, and stakeholder commitment, while important, does not measure the actual reduction in risk.
