Option C but if the question focused on operational issues over governance, would the answer change?

Ethan · Answer

C no leadership means risk management just doesn’t get prioritized or enforced. That’s a bigger problem than missing tools or duplicate registers.

Priya · Answer

B almost works, since not having a GRC tool makes things messy and hard to track. But I think it's still possible to manage risk without a tool if leadership is strong. Anyone else think tools matter more at lower maturity levels?

SaraD · Answer

Yeah, C is a big deal here. Without senior management involvement, the whole framework lacks direction and authority, so risk practices rarely get fully embedded. You can work around missing tools or methods for a while, but if leadership isn’t engaged nothing sticks long term. Pretty sure CRISC always highlights this. Agree?
