ISOISO 27001Risk Assessment and TreatmentEASYFree question

An organization concludes that a planned market expansion into a region with unstable data-protection enforcement carries unacceptable confidentiality risk, so it cancels the expansion entirely. In ISO 27005 terms, this treatment decision is best classified as:

A.Risk avoidance by deciding not to start the activity
B.Risk modification through added compensating controls around the region
C.Risk sharing with a local regional business partner
D.Risk retention pending further executive-level review

Why A is correct

Choosing not to begin an activity that would give rise to the risk is risk avoidance. Because the activity is cancelled rather than controlled or transferred, no controls or sharing arrangement applies.
