An enterprise is developing several consumer-based services using emerging technologies involving sensitive personal data. The CIO is under pressure to ensure the enterprise is first to market, but security scan results have not been adequately addressed. Reviewing which of the following will enable the CIO to make the BEST decision for the customers?
Correct Answer: B
A risk register is a tool that records and tracks the risks associated with a project or an activity, such as developing consumer-based services using emerging technologies involving sensitive personal data. A risk register typically includes information such as the risk description, category, impact, probability, status, response strategy, and owner. Reviewing the risk register will enable the CIO to make the best decision for the customers, as it will help them to identify, assess, and prioritize the risks that may affect the security, privacy, and quality of the services, and to determine the appropriate actions to mitigate or avoid them. The other options are not as relevant, as they do not provide specific information about the risks involved in the project or activity.
