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

  1. Implementing security controls

  2. Accepting the risk

  3. Transferring the risk

  4. Avoiding the risk


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Transferring the risk is not a common risk mitigation strategy because it does not reduce the likelihood or impact of the risk. Instead, it shifts the responsibility for managing the risk to another party.

Which of the following is an example of a physical security control?

  1. Firewall

  2. Intrusion detection system

  3. Access control list

  4. Security guard


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A security guard is an example of a physical security control because it involves the use of physical measures to protect assets from unauthorized access or damage.

Which of the following is an example of a technical security control?

  1. Security policy

  2. Encryption

  3. Employee training

  4. Physical access control


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Encryption is an example of a technical security control because it involves the use of technology to protect data from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Which of the following is an example of an administrative security control?

  1. Firewall

  2. Intrusion detection system

  3. Security policy

  4. Employee training


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A security policy is an example of an administrative security control because it involves the establishment of rules and procedures to guide the behavior of users and administrators in order to protect information assets.

Which of the following is NOT a common risk control implementation challenge?

  1. Lack of resources

  2. Lack of expertise

  3. Lack of management support

  4. Lack of user awareness


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Lack of user awareness is not a common risk control implementation challenge because it is not a barrier to implementing controls. Instead, it is a risk that can be mitigated by providing users with appropriate training and education.

Which of the following is a best practice for risk control implementation?

  1. Implement controls in a timely manner

  2. Prioritize controls based on risk

  1. Reviewing logs and reports

  2. Conducting security audits

  3. Performing penetration testing

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are common risk control monitoring and evaluation activities because they help to identify and address any weaknesses in the implementation or effectiveness of controls.

Which of the following is a benefit of risk control monitoring and evaluation?

  1. Improved security posture

  2. Reduced compliance risk

  3. Enhanced efficiency and effectiveness of controls

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
