Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 12

You are the project manager of GHT project. Your project utilizes a machine for production of goods. This machine has the specification that if its temperature would rise above 450 degree Fahrenheit then it may result in burning of windings. So, there is an alarm which blows when machine's temperature reaches 430 degree Fahrenheit and the machine is shut off for 1 hour. What role does alarm contribute here?

Answer options

• A. Of risk indicator
• B. Of risk identification
• C. Of risk trigger
• D. Of risk response

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The alarm acts as a risk indicator by alerting you to the potential danger of overheating before it reaches a critical point. Options B, C, and D do not accurately describe the alarm's function, as it does not identify risks, trigger them, or respond to them; instead, it signals an existing risk condition.
