CIPS Exam L6M7 Topic 1 Question 3 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L6M7 exam
Question #: 3
Topic #: 1
[All L6M7 Questions]

Alicia is aware of the dangers of IT hacking and has therefore created a risk assessment to assess how susceptible her business is to this threat. In her risk assessment, she has considered her employees and suppliers. Is this the correct thing to do?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

While it is important to consider employees and suppliers, cybersecurity risks can exist at various points in the supply chain. Alicia needs to assess potential threats at every stage. A risk assessment alone does not protect against threats (Option B is incorrect), and there is no indication that a third party must complete the assessment (Option D). (P.154)

I'm gonna have to go with C. Alicia can't just focus on her own employees - the suppliers could be the Achilles' heel. Gotta watch out for those shady third-party vendors, am I right?

D all the way! A third-party assessment would be much more thorough and unbiased. Alicia might be missing something if she does it herself. Plus, it'll make the company look more legit.

But shouldn't Alicia also consider risks throughout the supply chain? I think option C is also important.

I'll go with B. A risk assessment is a great first step to protecting the company, even if it doesn't cover the whole supply chain. Baby steps, you know?

Totally agree with C - the supply chain is a critical part of the risk assessment and shouldn't be overlooked. Hackers will target any weak link.
