Explanation

The concern about potentially losing access is a future uncertainty - a risk, not a current problem. The risk register is the correct document because it captures identified risks, their probability, potential impact, and planned responses. An issue log documents problems that have already occurred. An action item log tracks specific tasks assigned to team members. The project schedule tracks timelines and milestones. Since losing access to the external data has not happened yet but could happen, it belongs in the risk register as an identified threat requiring a mitigation or contingency plan.
