As part of a merger with another organization, a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is working with an assessor to perform a risk assessment focused on data privacy compliance. The CISO is primarily concerned with the potential legal liability and fines associated with data privacy. Based on the CISO’s concerns, the assessor will most likely focus on:

  • A. qualitative probabilities.
  • B. quantitative probabilities.
  • C. qualitative magnitude.
  • D. quantitative magnitude.

Selected Answer: C
Risk assessors evaluate the impact of a risk using a similar rating scale (high,medium,low). This evaluation should assume that a threat actually does take place and cause a risk to the organization and then attempt to identify the magnitude of the adverse impact that the risk will have on the organization. When evaluating this risk, it is helpful to refer to the three objectives of cybersecurity.

Quantitative assessments are beyond the scope of this exam. Because of this and for the explanation above, taken from the book, i vote C.

Quantitative probabilities involve using specific numerical values and data to assess the likelihood of events or incidents occurring. The goal of the risk assessment is to determine the probability of a threat occurs and its impact in the organization. Risk is assessed by factoring the likelihood of an event and the impact of the event. Likelihood is measured as a probability or percentage, while impact is expressed as a cost (dollar) value. Risk = Impact (or Magnitude) ($) x Likelihood (%)) RISK = PROBABILITY (%) x IMPACT(Magnitude) ($)

Probability is the chance of a threat being realized. For example, it could be that an organization is exposed to hundreds of phishing attempts each year, but only a few of those resulted in a breach incident Magnitude is the impact of a successful exploit or a risk event. Magnitude may be determined by factors such as the value of the asset or the cost of disruption if the asset is compromised.

Why not D? Beacuse Quantitative magnitude involves assigning specific numerical values to the impact or consequences of events. This can be beneficial for assessing financial risks associated with data privacy breaches, as it allows for a more precise estimation of potential losses but it is not the final outcome of a risk assessment..

Risk = Probability x Magnitude . strange question from Comptia. In reali life they will focus on Risk. Magnitude is not enough.

Voting for C Where is the quantitative data to do a quantitative analysis. CISO is not looking for probability so A and B are out.

Selected Answer: D
Since the CISO is primarily concerned with the potential legal liability and fines associated with data privacy, the assessor will most likely focus on quantitative magnitude during the risk assessment. Quantitative magnitude focuses on the financial impact of a risk event or incident, which is relevant to the CISO's concerns about legal liability and fines. The assessor will need to determine the potential financial impact of data privacy risks to the organization, which can include regulatory fines, legal fees, and damages from civil lawsuits. The assessment will also need to consider the probability of the risk event occurring, but the emphasis will be on the financial impact to the organization
