What is the primary objective of Risk Management?

  1. To eliminate all risks

  2. To minimize the likelihood and impact of risks

  3. To transfer risks to other parties

  4. To accept risks without taking any action


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The primary goal of Risk Management is to reduce the probability and severity of potential risks, rather than eliminating them entirely.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk management technique?

  1. Risk Assessment

  2. Risk Mitigation

  3. Risk Transfer

  4. Risk Acceptance


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk Acceptance is not a risk management technique, but rather a decision to tolerate a risk without taking any action to reduce it.

What is the process of identifying, analyzing, and evaluating potential risks called?

  1. Risk Assessment

  2. Risk Mitigation

  3. Risk Transfer

  4. Risk Acceptance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Risk Assessment is the process of systematically identifying, analyzing, and evaluating potential risks to determine their likelihood and impact.

What is the process of developing and implementing strategies to reduce the likelihood and impact of risks called?

  1. Risk Assessment

  2. Risk Mitigation

  3. Risk Transfer

  4. Risk Acceptance


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Risk Mitigation is the process of developing and implementing strategies to reduce the likelihood and impact of identified risks.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk mitigation strategy?

  1. Avoidance

  2. Reduction

  3. Transfer

  4. Acceptance


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk Acceptance is not a risk mitigation strategy, but rather a decision to tolerate a risk without taking any action to reduce it.

What is the process of transferring the financial consequences of a risk to another party called?

  1. Risk Assessment

  2. Risk Mitigation

  3. Risk Transfer

  4. Risk Acceptance


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Risk Transfer is the process of transferring the financial consequences of a risk to another party, typically through insurance or hedging.

What is the process of accepting a risk without taking any action to reduce it called?

  1. Risk Assessment

  2. Risk Mitigation

  3. Risk Transfer

  4. Risk Acceptance


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk Acceptance is the process of accepting a risk without taking any action to reduce it, typically because the cost or effort of mitigation outweighs the potential benefits.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk management standard?

  1. ISO 31000

  2. COSO ERM

  3. NIST SP 800-30

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

PCI DSS is a payment card industry security standard, not a general risk management standard.

What is the primary purpose of a risk register?

  1. To document identified risks

  2. To assess the likelihood and impact of risks

  3. To develop and implement risk mitigation strategies

  4. To monitor and review the effectiveness of risk management activities


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary purpose of a risk register is to document identified risks, along with their likelihood, impact, and potential mitigation strategies.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk management tool?

  1. Risk Matrix

  2. Bow-Tie Diagram

  3. Monte Carlo Simulation

  4. SWOT Analysis


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning tool, not a specific risk management tool.

What is the process of continuously monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of risk management activities called?

  1. Risk Assessment

  2. Risk Mitigation

  3. Risk Transfer

  4. Risk Monitoring


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

What is the process of developing and implementing strategies to address identified risks in a project called?

  1. Risk Assessment

  2. Risk Mitigation

  3. Risk Transfer

  4. Risk Acceptance


Correct Option:
Explanation:
