Question 1
Which of the following is the MOST important reason to maintain key risk indicators (KRIs)?
  1. In order to avoid risk
  2. Complex metrics require fine-tuning
  3. Risk reports need to be timely
  4. Threats and vulnerabilities change over time
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
Threats and vulnerabilities change over time and KRI maintenance ensures that KRIs continue to effectively capture these changes. The risk environment is highly dynamic as the enterprise's internal and external environments are constantly changing. Therefore, the set of KRIs needs to be changed over time, so that they can capture the changes in threat and vulnerability. Incorrect Answers:A: Risk avoidance is one possible risk response. Risk responses are based on KRI reporting, but is not the reason for maintenance of KRIs.B: While most key risk indicator (KRI) metrics need to be optimized in respect to their sensitivity, the most important objective of KRI maintenance is to ensure that KRIs continue to effectively capture the changes in threats and vulnerabilities over time. Hence the most important reason is that because of change of threat and vulnerability overtime.C: Risk reporting timeliness is a business requirement, but is not a reason for KRI maintenance.

Question 2
You are the project manager of a HGT project that has recently finished the final compilation process. The project customer has signed off on the project completion and you have to do few administrative closure activities. In the project, there were several large risks that could have wrecked the project but you and your project team found some new methods to resolve the risks without affecting the project costs or project completion date. What should you do with the risk responses that you have identified during the project's monitoring and controlling process?
  1. Include the responses in the project management plan.
  2. Include the risk responses in the risk management plan.
  3. Include the risk responses in the organization's lessons learned database.
  4. Nothing. The risk responses are included in the project's risk register already.
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
The risk responses that do not exist up till then, should be included in the organization's lessons learned database so other project managers can use these responses in their project if relevant. Incorrect Answers:A: The responses are not in the project management plan, but in the risk response plan during the project and they'll be entered into the organization's lessons learned database.B: The risk responses are included in the risk response plan, but after completing the project, they should be entered into the organization's lessons learned database.D: If the new responses that were identified is only included in the project's risk register then it may not be shared with project managers working on some other project.

Question 3
You are the risk official in Bluewell Inc. You are supposed to prioritize several risks. A risk has a rating for occurrence, severity, and detection as 4, 5, and 6, respectively. What Risk Priority Number (RPN) you would give to it?
  1. 120
  2. 100
  3. 15
  4. 30
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
Steps involving in calculating risk priority number are as follows:Identify potential failure effects Identify potential causes Establish links between each identified potential cause Identify potential failure modes Assess severity, occurrence and detection Perform score assessments by using a scale of 1 -10 (low to high rating) to score these assessments. Compute the RPN for a particular failure mode as Severity multiplied by occurrence and detection.    RPN = Severity * Occurrence * Detection Hence,    RPN = 4 * 5 * 6             = 120 Incorrect Answers:B, C, D: These are not RPN for given values of severity, occurrence, and detection.
Steps involving in calculating risk priority number are as follows:
  • Identify potential failure effects 
  • Identify potential causes 
  • Establish links between each identified potential cause 
  • Identify potential failure modes 
  • Assess severity, occurrence and detection 
  • Perform score assessments by using a scale of 1 -10 (low to high rating) to score these assessments. 
  • Compute the RPN for a particular failure mode as Severity multiplied by occurrence and detection. 
   RPN = Severity * Occurrence * Detection 
Hence, 
   RPN = 4 * 5 * 6 
            = 120 
Incorrect Answers:
B, C, D: These are not RPN for given values of severity, occurrence, and detection.

Question 5
What are the requirements for creating risk scenarios? Each correct answer represents a part of the solution. Choose three.
  1. Determination of cause and effect
  2. Determination of the value of business process at risk
  3. Potential threats and vulnerabilities that could cause loss
  4. Determination of the value of an asset
Correct answer: BCD
Explanation:
Creating a scenario requires determination of the value of an asset or a business process at risk and the potential threats and vulnerabilities that could cause loss. The risk scenario should be assessed for relevance and realism, and then entered into the risk register if found to be relevant. In practice following steps are involved in risk scenario development:First determine manageable set of scenarios, which include:Frequently occurring scenarios in the industry or product area. Scenarios representing threat sources that are increasing in count or severity level. Scenarios involving legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the business. After determining manageable risk scenarios, perform a validation against the business objectives of the entity. Based on this validation, refine the selected scenarios and then detail them to a level in line with the criticality of the entity. Lower down the number of scenarios to a manageable set. Manageable does not signify a fixed number, but should be in line with the overall importance and criticality of the unit. Risk factors kept in a register so that they can be reevaluated in the next iteration and included for detailed analysis if they have become relevant at that time. Risk factors kept in a register so that they can be reevaluated in the next iteration and included for detailed analysis if they have become relevant at that time. Include an unspecified event in the scenarios, that is, address an incident not covered by other scenarios. Incorrect Answers:A: Cause-and-effect analysis is a predictive or diagnostic analytical tool used to explore the root causes or factors that contribute to positive or negative effects or outcomes. It is used during the process of exposing risk factors.
