Thornfield Labs is conducting a risk analysis for a new clinical trial. The probability of a data breach is 5%, and the impact would be a $2,000,000 fine. The cost to implement a secure encryption protocol is $80,000.

Based on Expected Monetary Value (EMV), what should the PM do?

  1. Accept the risk because the probability is very low (5%).
  2. Transfer the risk by purchasing insurance with an annual premium of $110,000.
  3. Update the risk register and monitor the situation since 95% of the time there is no breach.
  4. Implement the encryption protocol because its cost is less than the EMV of the risk.
