Security Architecture and Design Practice Question
Question
A practitioner wants to reduce risk before proceeding for the CompTIA Security+ involving risk register in Security Architecture and Design. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 159)
Answer choices
- A. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.
- B. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
- C. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the risk register scenario.
- D. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.
Correct Answer
C. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the risk register scenario.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because risk register is tested by asking candidates to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
