Which of the following is the PRIMARY outcome of a privacy risk assessment?

A comprehensive risk register is an artifact used to document and track identified risks; it is a tool produced during or after the assessment, not the primary purpose of conducting it.

Mitigation strategies and plans are developed in response to identified risks but represent a subsequent planning phase, not the primary outcome of the assessment itself.

A privacy risk assessment systematically examines data processing activities - collection, storage, use, sharing, and disposal - to identify where privacy harms may occur and what likelihood and impact those harms carry. Identifying these risks is the foundational purpose of the assessment; everything else, including mitigation plans and risk registers, flows from this identification. Without identified risks, no other outcome is meaningful or actionable.

Organizational risk appetite is defined by leadership as a governance input to risk management decisions and is not an output produced by a privacy risk assessment.
