Explanation
Secondary risks are new risks that emerge as a direct result of implementing a risk response. Identifying and documenting secondary risks is a core deliverable of risk response planning. The risk manager owns this process and is therefore accountable when secondary risks are missed. The audit team (A) reviews compliance but does not own risk identification. Risk owners (C) are responsible for executing responses, not for discovering secondary risks during planning. Discipline engineers (D) contribute technical input but the accountability for completeness of risk response planning rests with the risk manager.
