Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 98

Which of the following tools is MOST effective in identifying trends in the IT risk profile?

Answer options

• A. Risk dashboard
• B. Risk register
• C. Risk self-assessment
• D. Risk map

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Risk dashboard is designed to visually display and track trends over time, making it the most effective tool for identifying changes in the IT risk profile. In contrast, the Risk register primarily documents risks without a strong emphasis on trend analysis, the Risk self-assessment focuses on individual evaluations, and the Risk map provides a spatial representation but may not highlight trends as effectively as a dashboard.
