Episode 25 — Risk Management Foundations: Identify, Assess, Treat, and Monitor Risk (Task 4)
This episode builds the risk management foundation that underpins many CCOA questions, especially those involving prioritization, control selection, and communication with leadership. You will define risk in terms of likelihood and impact, then learn how identification, assessment, treatment, and monitoring form a repeatable lifecycle rather than a one-time exercise. We will connect risk language to practical examples like misconfigured cloud storage, unmanaged privileged accounts, and incomplete logging, showing how each becomes a risk statement that can be tracked and owned. You will also hear how to select treatment options, including mitigation, acceptance, transfer, and avoidance, and how evidence proves the decision was rational and reviewed. The exam often rewards candidates who can frame technical issues as managed risk with clear accountability and measurable outcomes.
