Clause 6.1.2 defines the mandatory elements of risk assessment. Under risk identification, the standard requires: “identifies the information security risks:1) apply the information security risk assessment process to identify risks…; and2) identify the risk owners.” By contrast, considering likelihood and determining levels of risk (options B and D) are part ofrisk analysis(6.1.2 d) “assess the realistic likelihood…”; “determine the levels of risk”), and prioritization for treatment (option C) is part ofrisk evaluation(6.1.2 e) “prioritize the analysed risks for risk treatment”). Therefore, the specific activity that belongs torisk identificationis toidentify the risk owners. This sequencing is prescribed to ensure each risk has a designated owner responsible for decisions on treatment and acceptance downstream.

Clause 6.2 (Information security objectives) requires that objectives:

“be consistent with the information security policy”

“be measurable (if practicable)”

“take into account applicable information security requirements”

“be monitored, communicated, and updated as appropriate.”

From this, option A is correct since consistency with policy is an explicit requirement. Option B is incorrect because the standard allows objectives to be measurable “if practicable” (not mandatory for all). Option C is incorrect—objectives are not transferred contractually to third parties, though third-party agreements may include security requirements. Option D is incorrect because the standard requires regular review “as appropriate,” not a fixed annual cycle.

Thus, the verified requirement isA: They shall be consistent with the information security policy.

Clause 6.1.3 (e) specifies:

“The organization shall obtain risk owners’ approval of the information security risk treatment plan and acceptance of the residual information security risks.”

This confirms that residual risks — those remaining after risk treatment — must be reviewed and formally accepted by the designated risk owner. Option A is incorrect; awareness training is not a default control for all residual risks. Option B misrepresents leadership responsibility; top management ensures processes exist, butrisk ownersformally approve residual risk. Option D (avoiding risk) is a treatment option, not the mandated requirement for residual risks.

Thus, the required response isC: Review and acceptance by the risk owner.
