Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 128

To implement the MOST effective monitoring of key risk indicators (KRIs), which of the following needs to be in place?

Answer options

• A. Automated data feed
• B. Controls monitoring
• C. Escalation procedures
• D. Threshold definition

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Threshold definition is crucial because it establishes the parameters for what constitutes acceptable levels of risk, enabling effective monitoring of KRIs. Without defined thresholds, it would be challenging to determine when a risk indicator is signaling a potential issue. The other options, while important, do not directly relate to the establishment of effective monitoring criteria.
