Explanation:
The purpose of qualitative risk analysis is to determine what impact the identified risk events will have on the project and the probability they'll occur. It also puts risks in priority order according to their effects on the project objectives and assigns a risk score for the project.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Risk Management is used to identify, assess, and control risks. It includes analyzing the value of assets to the business, identifying threats to those assets, and evaluating how vulnerable each asset is to those threats. Assessing the probability and consequences of identified risks is only the part of risk management.
C: It involves listing of all the possible risks so as to cure them before it can occur. In risk identification both threats and opportunities are considered, as both carry some level of risk with them.
D: This process does not involve assessing the probability and consequences of identified risks.
Quantitative analysis is the use of numerical and statistical techniques rather than the analysis of verbal material for analyzing risks. Some of the quantitative methods of risk analysis are:
Internal loss method

External data analysis

Business process modeling (BPM) and simulation

Statistical process control (SPC)

is incorrect. Risk assessment uses quantitative and qualitative analysis approaches to evaluate each significant risk identified. Answer:A and B are incorrect. These use either some technical evaluation tool or assessment methodologies to evaluate risk but do not use risk scenarios.

Explanation:
0 nonexistent: An enterprise's risk management capability maturity level is 0 when:
* The enterprise does not recognize the need to consider the risk management or the business impact from IT risk.
* Decisions involving risk lack credible information.
* Awareness of external requirements for risk management and integration with enterprise risk management (ERM) do not exists.
Incorrect Answers:
A, C, D: These all are much higher levels of the risk management capability maturity model and in all these enterprises do take decisions considering the risk credential information. Moreover, in these levels enterprise is aware of external requirements for risk management and integrate with ERM.

Explanation:
Preventative controls are the controls that detect the problem before it occurs. They attempt to predict potential problems and make adjustments to prevent those problems to occur in near future. This prediction is being made by monitoring both the system's operations and its inputs.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Deterrent controls are similar to the preventative controls, but they diminish or reverse the attraction of the environment to prevent risk from occurring instead of making adjustments to the environment.
B: Detective controls simply detect and report on the occurrence of a problems. They identify specific symptoms to potential problems.
C: Compensation controls ensure that normal business operations continue by applying appropriate resource.

Explanation:
The plan risk response project management process aims to reduce the threats to the project objectives and to increase opportunities. It follows the perform qualitative risk analysis process and perform quantitative risk analysis process. Plan risk response process includes the risk response owner to take the job for each agreed- to and funded risk response. This process addresses the risks by their priorities, schedules the project management plan as required, and inserts resources and activities into the budget. The inputs to the plan risk response process are as follows:
* Risk register
* Risk management plan
Incorrect Answers:
A: Monitor and Control Risk is the process of implementing risk response plans, tracking identified risks, monitoring residual risk, identifying new risks, and evaluating risk process effectiveness throughout the project.
It can involve choosing alternative strategies, executing a contingency or fallback plan, taking corrective action, and modifying the project management plan.
C: Identify Risks is the process of determining which risks may affect the project. It also documents risks' characteristics. The Identify Risks process is part of the Project Risk Management knowledge area. As new risks may evolve or become known as the project progresses through its life cycle, Identify Risks is an iterative process. The process should involve the project team so that they can develop and maintain a sense of ownership and responsibility for the risks and associated risk response actions. Risk Register is the only output of this process.
D: Qualitative analysis is the definition of risk factors in terms of high/medium/low or a numeric scale (1 to 10).
Hence it determines the nature of risk on a relative scale.
Some of the qualitative methods of risk analysis are:
* Scenario analysis- This is a forward-looking process that can reflect risk for a given point in time.
* Risk Control Self -assessment (RCSA) - RCSA is used by enterprises (like banks) for the identification and evaluation of operational risk exposure. It is a logical first step and assumes that business owners and managers are closest to the issues and have the most expertise as to the source of the risk. RCSA is a constructive process in compelling business owners to contemplate, and then explain, the issues at hand with the added benefit of increasing their accountability.
