Correct answer & explanation
✓
Risk register with identified risks and ratings
A risk register is a core component of a risk assessment report because it formally documents each identified risk, its likelihood, impact, and risk rating (e.g., using a 5x5 matrix). This provides a structured, auditable record that supports decision-making and compliance with frameworks like ISO 31000 or NIST SP 800-30.
