Explanation

Common mistakes.

  • B. Updating risk awareness training is a subsequent step after new risks have been identified and the risk appetite/tolerance has been re-evaluated, not the immediate next action.
  • C. Informing the board is an important communication step, but it typically occurs after new risks have been initially identified and assessed, providing concrete scenarios rather than just a general warning.
  • D. Increasing the scale for measuring impact might be necessary eventually, but it's a modification to the risk assessment framework, not the immediate action to address new risks from a new strategy.
