Which of the following should be the MAIN reason for an enterprise to implement an IT risk management framework?
Correct Answer: A
The main reason for an enterprise to implement an IT risk management framework is the need to enable IT risk-aware decisions by executives, as it helps to ensure that the IT risks are aligned with the enterprise strategy, objectives, and risk appetite. IT risk management also provides a consistent and structured approach to identify, analyze, treat, and monitor IT-related business risks, and to communicate and report them to the relevant stakeholders12.
