RISK MANAGEMENT CLM 017 CHOOSE POTENTIAL RISK MITIGATION STRATEGIES AS RELATED TO RISK EVENTS>

Your program is planning on visiting a cooperating country to conduct an information-sharing event with military counterparts. While the government is strategically allied with U.S. interests, popular opposition to U.S. policies has been growing in strength and has turned to increasingly violent demonstrations on the streets. Which risk mitigation technique should you choose for this security risk?

1. Acceptance

2. Control

3. Transfer

4. Avoidance

Answer 1

4. Avoidance

The most effective risk mitigation in this context would be avoidance as that would mean that the program should be aware of the risk and also ensure that it doesn't possess any activity that may be vulnerable to create a risk. The organization needs to have a proper policy defined and train the individuals involved with the program so that there is no chance of error.
