Question

During planning for a data-migration project, the team identifies a high-probability, high-impact threat: the legacy database format is incompatible with the new platform and could corrupt records during transfer. After analysis, the team decides to change the migration approach entirely by adopting a proven middleware tool that converts records in a supported format before transfer, eliminating the incompatibility. Which risk response strategy has the project manager applied?

Accepted Answer

Avoid — eliminating the threat entirely by changing the project approach

Answer

Mitigate — reducing the probability or impact of the threat to an acceptable level

Answer

Transfer — shifting the impact of the threat to a third party

Answer

Accept — acknowledging the threat without taking proactive action
