Which of the following characteristics of risk controls answers the aspect about the control given
below: “Will it continue to function as expressed over the time and adopts as changes or new
elements are introduced to the environment”
A.
Reliability
B.
Sustainability
C.
Consistency
D.
Distinct
Explanation:
Sustainability ensures that the control continues to function as expressed over the time and adopts
as changes or new elements are introduced to the environment.
Answer C is incorrect. Consistent characteristic of the control tells whether the control can be
applied in the same manner across the organization.
Answer A is incorrect. Reliability of control ensures that it will serve its purpose under multiple
circumstances.
Answer D is incorrect. A control or countermeasure which does not overlap in its performance
with another control or countermeasure is considered as distinct. Hence the separation of controls
in the production environment rather than the separation in the design and implementation of the
risk refers to distinct.
