Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
Which of the following is considered valid evidence collected during a risk or safety assessment? Select all that apply.
Answer
Records examined and verified documentation of facility conditions
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **Interview statements and the names of people spoken to** are recorded findings from interviews.
- **Records examined and their contents** provide documentary evidence.
- **Observations about equipment checked** document what assessors saw during checks.
- **Descriptions of facilities visited** preserve observations from site visits.
### The concept
Assessment evidence supports findings by recording what was reviewed, observed, or reported. Evidence allows assessors to explain the basis for conclusions and recommendations. It does not prove that future incidents are impossible.
### The other options
- **A guarantee that future incidents cannot occur**: assessments cannot provide this guarantee; they identify and help prioritize risk.
### Terms
- **Evidence**: information collected to support or challenge an assessment finding.
### Remember
An assessment records support for conclusions, not certainty about the future.
