Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
Which impacts may be relevant when expressing a cybersecurity gap as an enterprise risk? Select ALL correct answers.
Answer
Business mission, Operations and services, Privacy, Assets, Reputation
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **Business mission**: a risk may affect whether the organization can achieve its purpose.
- **Operations and services**: a weakness may disrupt everyday work or service delivery.
- **Privacy**: an incident or control gap may affect personal information.
- **Assets**: systems and data may be damaged, exposed, or made unavailable.
- **Reputation**: a security failure can undermine confidence in the organization.
### The concept
The source directs assessors to express gaps in terms of business consequences, rather than treating technical compliance as the only measure. These impacts help decision-makers judge severity and determine whether to mitigate or accept a risk.
### The other options
- **F. The color scheme of the assessment spreadsheet**: presentation can aid readability, but it is not a stated category of enterprise risk impact.
### Terms
- **Privacy**: protection and appropriate handling of information about people.
- **Reputation**: the trust and standing an organization has with stakeholders.
### Remember
Explain the effect on the organization, not merely the format of the assessment.
