Question 1: What is the purpose of the asset assessment step of
the risk management process?• Identify assets requiring protection and/or that are important to the organization and to national security • Identify undesirable events and expected impacts • Prioritize assets based on consequences of loss
CORRECT ANSWER : • Identify assets requiring protection
and/or that are important to the organization and to national security • Identify undesirable events and expected impacts • Prioritize assets based on consequences of loss
Question 2: What is the purpose of the threat assessment step of
the risk management process?• Determine threats to identified assets • Assess intent and capability of identified threats • Assess current threat level for the identified assets
- | Page
CORRECT ANSWER : • Determine threats to identified assets
• Assess intent and capability of identified threats • Assess current threat level for the identified assets
Question 3: What is the purpose of the vulnerability assessment
step of the risk management process?• Identify existing countermeasures and their level of effectiveness in reducing vulnerabilities • Identify potential vulnerabilities related to identified assets and their undesirable events • Identify current vulnerability level for the identified assets that can be exploited by the identified threats
CORRECT ANSWER : • Identify existing countermeasures and
their level of effectiveness in reducing vulnerabilities • Identify potential vulnerabilities related to identified assets and their undesirable events • Identify current vulnerability level for the identified assets that can be exploited by the identified threats

Question 4: What is the purpose of the risk assessment step of
the risk management process?• Integrate information about the impact of undesirable events (collected during the asset assessment step) and the likelihood of undesirable events (based on information collected during the threat and vulnerability assessment steps) to determine risks to identified assets
CORRECT ANSWER : • Integrate information about the impact
of undesirable events (collected during the asset assessment step) and the likelihood of undesirable events (based on information collected during the threat and vulnerability assessment steps) to determine risks to identified assets
Question 5: What is the purpose of the countermeasure
determination step of the risk management process?• Identify potential countermeasures to reduce vulnerability and/or threat and/or impact • Identify countermeasure benefits in terms of risk reduction • Identify countermeasure costs • Conduct cost/benefit analysis
- | Page
• Prioritize options and prepare recommendation for decision maker
CORRECT ANSWER : • Identify potential countermeasures to
reduce vulnerability and/or threat and/or impact • Identify countermeasure benefits in terms of risk reduction • Identify countermeasure costs • Conduct cost/benefit analysis • Prioritize options and prepare recommendation for decision maker
Question 6: What is the primary benefit of conducting the risk
management process?• National-level security policy endorses a holistic risk management approach, allowing decision makers to effectively allocate resources that provide the necessary security to assets that match the threat to those assets
CORRECT ANSWER : • National-level security policy endorses
a holistic risk management approach, allowing decision makers to effectively allocate resources that provide the necessary security to assets that match the threat to those assets
