Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 598

Which of the following would MOST likely drive the need to review and update key performance indicators (KPIs) for critical IT assets?

Answer options

• A. Changes in service level objectives
• B. Findings from continuous monitoring
• C. The outsourcing of related IT processes
• D. Outcomes of periodic risk assessments

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as changes in service level objectives directly impact the expectations and measurements of performance for IT assets. While findings from continuous monitoring (B), outsourcing of processes (C), and risk assessments (D) might inform KPIs, they do not inherently necessitate a review as changes in service level objectives do.
