Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Treating risk management as an isolated, bureaucratic legal function completely separate from IT operations.
Why it's wrong here
Isolating risk management creates silos, violating holistic thinking and collaboration.
- ✗
Hiding audit findings from development teams to prevent panic and maintain morale.
Why it's wrong here
Hiding findings violates 'Collaborate and promote visibility'.

Why it's wrong here
Zero risk is impossible and creates paralyzing bottlenecks, violating practical principles.
- ✓
Aligning risk appetites directly with the organization's key value streams and customer outcomes.
Why this is correct
Aligning risk with value streams connects governance directly to business value ('Focus on value').
- ✓
Embedding automated compliance checks and risk assessments directly into CI/CD deployment pipelines.
Why this is correct
Automating compliance checks combines 'Optimize and automate' with practical risk management.
