ISOISO 27001Risk Assessment and TreatmentEASYFree question
An organization chooses to add multi-factor authentication, encrypt sensitive databases, and tighten access reviews to lower the likelihood and impact of unauthorized access. Which clause 6.1.3 treatment option does this collectively represent?
A.Risk avoidance
B.Risk retention
C.Risk modification
D.Risk sharing
Why C is correct
Modifying the risk means changing its level by applying controls that reduce likelihood or impact. The added controls reduce the exposure rather than removing the activity, transferring it, or simply accepting it.
