Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 225

In an organization dependent on data analytics to drive decision-making, which of the following would BEST help to minimize the risk associated with inaccurate data?

Answer options

• A. Evaluating each of the data sources for vulnerabilities
• B. Establishing an intellectual property agreement
• C. Benchmarking to industry best practice
• D. Periodically reviewing big data strategies

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because assessing the data sources for vulnerabilities directly addresses the potential inaccuracies in the data.
