Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 527

Which of the following is the BEST way to ensure controls are maintained consistently across the environment?

Answer options

• A. Performing a gap analysis on process deviations
• B. Conducting annual control assessments
• C. Monitoring key risk indicators (KRIs)
• D. Training operational staff on risk control procedures

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Conducting annual control assessments is the best way to ensure consistency in controls, as it provides a systematic review of their effectiveness and compliance. While gap analyses, monitoring KRIs, and training staff are important, they do not ensure ongoing adherence and uniform application of controls as effectively as regular assessments do.
