To address the risk of operations staff’s failure to perform the daily backup, management requires that the
systems administrator sign off on the daily backup. This is an example of risk:

A.
avoidance.

B.
transference.

C.
mitigation.

D.
acceptance.

Explanation:
Mitigation is the strategy that provides for the definition and implementation of controls to address the risk
described. Avoidance is a strategy that provides for not implementing certain activities or processes that would
incur risk. Transference is the strategy that provides for sharing risk with partners or taking insurance coverage.
Acceptance is a strategy that provides for formal acknowledgement of the existence of a risk and the
monitoring of that risk.
