Answer: C
Full risk assessment determines the level of protection most
appropriate to a given level of risk, while the baseline
approach merely applies a standard set of protection
regardless of risk. There is a cost advantage in not over
protecting information. However, an even bigger advantage is
making sure that no information assets are over or under
protected. The risk assessment approach will ensure an
appropriate level of protection is applied commensurate with
the level of risk and asset value, and therefore, considers
asset value. The baseline approach allows more resources to
be directed towards the assets at greater risk rather than
equally directing resources to all assets.
