RA Step 3 Task 1 focuses on communicating risk assessment results to whom?

• A. Organization decision makers.
• B. End users.
• C. Media outlets.
• D. Suppliers and contractors.

Answer: (A)

Communicating risk assessment results is driven by the need to equip those who govern the organization with the information they need to make decisions about risk treatment. Organization decision makers have the authority to set risk tolerance, approve mitigations, and allocate the necessary resources to address findings. When results are presented in clear, high-level terms—highlighting the current risk posture, the most significant risks, potential impact, and a prioritized set of actions—they can determine what to accept, what to mitigate, and what to accept with controls in place. End users operate within the controls and practices implemented as a result of those decisions, not the risk governance itself. External parties like media should only be involved under specific disclosure requirements, and suppliers or contractors may need some information to fulfill contracts, but they do not typically decide on risk acceptance or remediation. So the primary audience is organization decision makers who can authorize actions and resources to reduce risk.
