Which of the following risks would BEST be assessed using quantitative risk assessment techniques?

  1. Customer data stolen
  2. An electrical power outage
  3. A web site defaced by hackers
  4. Loss of the software development team

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The effect of the theft of customer data or web site defacement by hackers could lead to a permanent decline in customer confidence, which does not lend itself to measurement by quantitative techniques. Loss of a majority of the software development team could have similar unpredictable repercussions. However, the loss of electrical power for a short duration is more easily measurable and can be quantified into monetary amounts that can be assessed with quantitative techniques.

  3. aggregate compensation of all affected business users.
  4. financial losses incurred by affected business units.

Answer(s): D

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Although all of these are important, the list of action items is used to reduce or transfer the current level of risk. The other options materially contribute to the way the actions are implemented.
