Which of the following is the GREATEST risk associated with a poorly trained incident response team responding to a major incident?

Separation of duty violations are a control weakness that could lead to issues, but it's not the greatest immediate risk directly from a poorly trained team responding to an incident.

While a poorly handled incident could lead to data loss, the direct and immediate greatest risk from a poorly trained team specifically is the mishandling of evidence during the response itself.

Evidence contamination is the greatest immediate risk because an untrained team might inadvertently alter, destroy, or mishandle crucial digital or physical evidence during incident response. This compromises the integrity of the investigation, hinders root cause analysis, and can invalidate evidence for legal proceedings, leading to severe long-term consequences.

Failure to escalate is a significant problem in incident management, but evidence contamination directly corrupts the foundational data needed to understand and resolve the incident, potentially causing irreversible damage.
