Governance, Risk, and Compliance Practice Question

Question

A student must apply the concept rather than define it only for the CompTIA Security+ involving ransomware in Governance, Risk, and Compliance. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 42)

Answer choices

1. A. Apply a rule from a different domain even though the exam objective is different.
2. B. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the ransomware scenario.
3. C. Choose the option that sounds familiar even if it does not fit the scenario.
4. D. Use the most complex option even when a simpler compliant action directly solves the problem.

Correct Answer

B. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the ransomware scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because ransomware 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.
