Assigning clear ownership and accountability to each identified risk ensures that a specific person or team is responsible for implementing the treatment, monitoring progress, and reporting outcomes. Without ownership, risk treatments often stall or go unimplemented. Communication (B), policy updates (C), and encryption (D) are all valuable actions, but they are tactical measures.
