Why each option
When a System Owner implements a new system, the primary objectives considered for impact to risk are the fundamental elements of information security.
When determining the possible impact to risk for a new system, the System Owner considers the fundamental objectives of information security: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA). Assessing how a system's failure or compromise affects these three principles-preventing unauthorized disclosure (confidentiality), unauthorized modification (integrity), and ensuring timely access (availability)-helps quantify the potential impact on organizational operations and assets, thereby informing risk decisions.
Common, Hybrid, and System-Specific refer to different categories of security controls, not the objectives considered when assessing risk impact.
Authentication, Authorization, and Accountability are security services or mechanisms that contribute to achieving CIA, but they are not the primary objectives for impact assessment themselves.
Low, Moderate, and High are levels or categories of risk or impact, not the fundamental objectives that are being evaluated for potential impact.
