Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 1053

Which of the following is a technique that provides a systematic description of the combination of unwanted occurrences in a system?

Answer options

• A. Sensitivity analysis
• B. Scenario analysis
• C. Fault tree analysis
• D. Cause and effect analysis

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Fault tree analysis is the correct choice because it systematically identifies and describes the combinations of failures that can lead to undesired outcomes in a system. The other options, while useful in their own contexts, do not specifically focus on the systematic analysis of unwanted occurrences or failures.
