Why each option
To prevent adverse effects from integrating an emerging technology, the best approach is to develop Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) for early detection of increasing risk exposure.
KPIs measure performance against objectives, not necessarily the potential for adverse effects or risk accumulation.
Updating the risk appetite statement defines the level of risk an organization is willing to take, but it doesn't prevent adverse effects; it sets the boundary for risk acceptance.
Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) are metrics used to provide an early signal of increasing risk exposure in a particular area, such as the integration of a new technology. By monitoring KRIs, an organization can proactively identify potential adverse effects before they materialize, allowing for timely mitigation actions.
SLAs define performance expectations and remedies for service delivery, but they don't proactively prevent inherent risks associated with integrating new, potentially disruptive technology.
