A company is revising its strategic plan and wants to balance its growth objectives with its information security risks. The company seeks neither to aggressively pursue risk for potential gains nor to minimize risk at the expense of new opportunities. Which of the following best describes the company's risk strategy?
The company strictly minimizes any potential security risks, even if it means passing on potentially lucrative opportunities.
The company assesses security risks on a case-by-case basis, with no predefined strategy towards risk.
The company is adopting a neutral risk strategy to support steady growth while efficiently managing security risks.
The company is aggressively expanding into new markets, often prioritizing potential gains over the strict management of information security risks.
An organization with a neutral risk appetite is one that seeks to maintain a balance between accepting some levels of risk and pursuing new opportunities, without skewing too far towards either risk aversion or risk seeking. Choice A best aligns with this balanced approach, whereas the other options suggest either a greater willingness to take on risk (expansionary) or a more conservative stance (conservative) that minimizes risk exposure.
