Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 723

Which of the following is MOST critical to the design of relevant risk scenarios?

Answer options

• A. The scenarios are linked to probable organizational situations.
• B. The scenarios are based on past incidents.
• C. The scenarios are aligned with risk management capabilities.
• D. The scenarios are mapped to incident management capabilities.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because linking scenarios to probable organizational situations ensures they are relevant and realistic, helping to effectively prepare for potential risks. The other options, while important, focus on past incidents, risk management capabilities, or incident management capabilities, which do not prioritize the current organizational context as critically as option A.
