When creating a new assessment scheduler record for initiating advanced risk assessments, which two options should be selected?

The selection of a published risk assessment methodology (RAM) is essential when creating a new assessment scheduler record for advanced risk assessments. This is because the RAM serves as a structured framework that guides how risk assessments should be conducted. It provides a standardized approach for evaluating risks, ensuring consistency and compliance with organizational policies and standards. By selecting a published RAM, you ensure that the assessments will adhere to best practices and utilize predefined criteria, metrics, and processes related to risk identification, analysis, and evaluation.

Additionally, while the other options may seem relevant, selecting a risk assessment methodology is crucial for establishing the foundational elements of the assessment process itself. The absence of a recognized RAM would lead to a lack of direction and could complicate the assessment process, potentially resulting in inconsistent outputs and interpretations. Therefore, utilizing a RAM is not only a best practice but is often essential for effective risk management within an organization.

Other options, while related to entity selection, do not play as significant a role in the initial setup of a robust and reliable assessment framework as the published RAM does.
