ID.RA-06.167
Does your organization use risk assessment findings to inform and prioritize risk response decisions and actions?
Explanation
This question evaluates whether your organization has a structured process for translating identified risks into concrete action plans. Effective risk management requires not just identifying risks but using those findings to make informed decisions about risk treatment options (accept, mitigate, transfer, or avoid) and to prioritize security investments based on risk severity and business impact. Evidence could include documented risk treatment plans that reference specific risk assessment findings, meeting minutes showing risk-based decision making, or a risk register that tracks identified risks alongside corresponding response actions and their implementation status.
