\"Secure Haven Solutions,\" a burgeoning fintech company, is undergoing its initial ISO 27001:2022 certification. They\'ve meticulously identified numerous information security risks associated with their cloud-based transaction processing system. After conducting a thorough risk assessment, the risk management team, led by the newly appointed CISO, Anya Sharma, has proposed various risk treatment options. One significant risk identified is the potential for unauthorized access to sensitive customer financial data stored in the cloud. The initial risk assessment determined that the likelihood of such an event occurring was \"medium,\" and the potential impact was \"high,\" resulting in a risk score above the organization\'s acceptable threshold. Anya is now faced with the crucial decision of selecting the most appropriate risk treatment option, considering Secure Haven\'s limited budget and aggressive growth targets. She must also consider the regulatory requirements for data protection imposed by the jurisdiction in which they operate.
