ISACA Exam Questions

What risk response is likely to be used?

One of the risk events you’ve identified is classified as force majeure. What risk response is likely

to be used?

A.
Acceptance

B.
Transference

C.
Enhance

D.
Mitigation

Explanation:

Force majeure describes acts of God (Natural disaster), such as tornados and fires, and are
usually accepted because there’s little than can be done to mitigate these risks.
Answer D is incorrect. Mitigation isn’t the best choice, as this lowers the probability and/or impact
of the risk event.
Answer C is incorrect. Enhance is used for a positive risk event, not for force majeure.
Answer B is incorrect. Transference transfers the risk ownership to a third party, usually for a fee.
