Question 3

GreenFuture Consulting is contracted to verify the carbon footprint of EcoCorp, a large manufacturing company, according to ISO 14064-3:2019. As the lead verifier, you are assessing the risks associated with EcoCorp\'s data handling practices for its carbon footprint calculation. An initial risk assessment identified a high inherent risk related to data accuracy and security due to the sensitive nature of the data and potential for manipulation. EcoCorp has implemented several controls, including data validation procedures, employee training, and access restrictions.

To evaluate the effectiveness of these controls and determine the residual risk, you conduct a thorough review of the data validation process, observe employee practices, and perform data integrity testing. Your findings reveal that the data validation process, while documented, is not consistently applied across all departments. Employee training was conducted, but refresher courses are lacking, leading to some employees reverting to previous, less accurate methods. Data integrity testing reveals inconsistencies in the data entry process, indicating that errors are still occurring despite the implemented controls.

Based on these findings, what is the most accurate assessment of the control effectiveness and the resulting residual risk associated with EcoCorp\'s data handling practices, considering the principles of ISO 31010:2019?

Accepted Answer

Control effectiveness: Moderate; Residual risk: Moderate
