CRISC Practice Question: A risk practitioner is asked to reduce the number…

A risk practitioner is asked to reduce the number of KRIs tracked from 50 to 20. Which KRIs should be prioritized for removal?

⚠ Common exam trap

A common mix-up: candidates confuse operational efficiency (manual collection) or statistical behavior (low threshold, high volatility) with the fundamental requirement that every KRI must be directly traceable to a specific risk in the risk register.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

KRIs that are not directly mapped to any risk in the risk register

KRIs that are not directly mapped to any risk in the risk register provide no actionable insight for risk monitoring or decision-making. Removing them reduces noise and ensures the remaining 20 KRIs are all linked to specific risks, which is essential for effective risk-based reporting and resource allocation.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    KRIs that have been consistently below threshold for two years

    Why it's wrong here

    Consistently below threshold may indicate low risk; but still useful for baseline.

  • ✓

    KRIs that are not directly mapped to any risk in the risk register

    Why this is correct

    Unmapped KRIs lack context and decision support.

  • ✗

    KRIs that require manual data collection

    Why it's wrong here

    Manual effort is not a criterion for removal if valuable.

  • ✗

    KRIs that have high volatility

    Why it's wrong here

    Volatility may be important for monitoring changes.
