ISC2 Exam ISSEP Topic 3 Question 62 Discussion

Acceptance response is a part of Risk Response planning process. Acceptance response delineates

to deal with the risk. Management may develop a contingency plan if the risk does occur.

Acceptance response to a risk event is a strategy

that can be used for risks that pose either threats or opportunities. Acceptance response can be of

two types:

Active acceptance: Such responses include developing contingency reserves to deal with risks, in

case they occur.
