A project team implemented a mitigation response for a risk of data loss by setting up automated hourly backups to a secondary site. After three months, the risk owner reports that the backups are running but the restore process has never been tested. What is the most important next step to assess the effectiveness of this response?

Conduct a restore drill to verify that the backups can actually recover the data within the recovery time objective.

Reclassify the risk as low because the backups have been running without interruption.

Increase the backup frequency to every 30 minutes to reduce potential data loss.

Review the backup logs to confirm that no backup jobs have failed in the last month.

In a metricized project, the team uses a RACI matrix for risk response actions. For a risk response that requires the quality assurance team to run tests and the project manager to approve the test results, which RACI assignment is correct?

Quality assurance team: Consulted; Project manager: Informed.

Quality assurance team: Accountable; Project manager: Responsible.

Quality assurance team: Informed; Project manager: Accountable.

Quality assurance team: Responsible; Project manager: Accountable.
