Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 964

Which of the following would be of GREATEST concern regarding an organization’s asset management?

Answer options

• A. Lack of a dedicated asset management team
• B. Decentralized asset lists
• C. Incomplete asset inventory
• D. Lack of a mature records management program

Correct answer: C

Explanation

An incomplete asset inventory is critical because it directly affects the organization's ability to track and manage its assets effectively, leading to potential security and compliance issues. While the other options represent concerns, they do not have as immediate an impact on the overall asset management process as having an incomplete inventory does.
