Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 160

Answer options

• A. Improved senior management communication
• B. Enhanced awareness of risk management

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is right because timely updates to the risk register lead to more informed and effective risk treatment decisions based on the latest assessment data.
