You are the project manager of GHT project. You have analyzed the risk and applied appropriate
controls. In turn, you got residual risk as a result of this. Residual risk can be used to determine
which of the following?
A.
Status of enterprise’s risk
B.
Appropriate controls to be applied next
C.
The area that requires more control
D.
Whether the benefits of such controls outweigh the costs
Explanation:
Residual risk can be used by management to determine:
Which areas require more control Whether the benefits of such controls outweigh the costs
As residual risk is the output that comes after applying appropriate controls, so it can also estimate
the area which need more sophisticated control. If the cost of control is large that its benefits then
no control is applied, hence residual risk can determine benefits of these controls over cost.
Answer B is incorrect. Appropriate control can only be determined as the result of risk
assessment, not through residual risk.
Answer A is incorrect. Status of enterprise’s risk can be determined only after risk monitoring.
