CISM study material · question 217 of 1000

A manager wants to be able to compare this year's risk assessment against last year's to see trends. Which property must the assessment have?

  1. Repeatability — the ability to redo the assessment later in a manner consistent with and comparable to prior ones
  2. Traceability — linkage of each result to its source
  3. Reproducibility — different experts producing the same result from the same data
  4. Reliability — the accuracy of the underlying data
Show the answer

Answer: A. Repeatability — the ability to redo the assessment later in a manner consistent with and comparable to prior ones

SP 800-30 defines repeatability as the ability to repeat the assessment in future consistently with and comparably to prior assessments, which is what enables an organisation to identify trends.
