Question 1 of 30
During the implementation of a new Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS), \"Project Phoenix,\" a large multinational pharmaceutical company, PharmaxCorp, identified several risks related to metadata management, including potential data breaches, system failures, and human error during metadata creation. Following ISO 23081-1:2017 guidelines and adhering to the principles outlined in ISO 31000, PharmaxCorp conducted a thorough risk assessment and implemented several new security measures, including multi-factor authentication, enhanced encryption protocols, and mandatory metadata training for all personnel. However, the project manager, Anya Sharma, under pressure to meet deadlines, neglected to update the risk register to reflect the implemented security measures and their impact on the identified risks. According to ISO 23081-1:2017, what is the MOST significant consequence of Anya\'s failure to update the risk register in this scenario, and how does it impact PharmaxCorp\'s overall risk management strategy for metadata?
The risk management framework's effectiveness cannot be accurately monitored or reviewed, potentially leading to a false sense of security and inadequate responses to evolving threats, thereby undermining the proactive risk management approach advocated by ISO 23081-1:2017.
The implemented security measures will automatically become obsolete due to the lack of formal documentation, resulting in a complete system failure and a significant data breach, as the system is unable to verify its security protocols.
The company's legal department will be unable to defend PharmaxCorp against potential lawsuits related to data breaches, as there is no documented evidence of the implemented security measures, thereby violating regulatory compliance requirements.
The lack of an updated risk register will trigger an immediate audit by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), resulting in the revocation of PharmaxCorp's ISO 9001 certification and significant financial penalties.
