Explanation
The impact of risk realization is most commonly measured in monetary terms, providing a standardized way to quantify and compare potential losses across different scenarios.
Common mistakes.
- A. Amount of data lost is a specific type of impact, but not the universal measure for all types of risk impact; for example, a system outage might not lose data but cause significant financial loss.
- C. Amount of property lost is another specific type of impact, and many risks (e.g., reputational damage, operational disruption) do not involve physical property loss.
- D. Number of people affected is a measure of human impact, relevant for some risks (e.g., safety, HR), but not a universal financial quantification of all risk impacts.
