What can be considered a consequence of ineffective corrective measures?

  1. Enhanced employee morale

  2. Increased system vulnerabilities after disasters

  3. Improved organizational reputation

  4. Better compliance with regulations

The correct answer is: Increased system vulnerabilities after disasters

Ineffective corrective measures can lead to increased system vulnerabilities after disasters because these measures fail to adequately address the root causes of problems or to prevent future issues. When corrective actions are not properly implemented or lack the necessary rigor, it leaves systems exposed to the same risks that initially caused failures. As a result, organizations may find themselves in a weakened state, unable to respond effectively to new challenges or threats that arise from having unresolved vulnerabilities. This can manifest in various ways, such as failing to secure sensitive data, not reinforcing physical safeguards, or neglecting to update protocols that protect against operational disruptions. In contrast, enhanced employee morale, improved organizational reputation, and better compliance with regulations are typically outcomes of effective corrective measures rather than consequences of ineffective ones. These positive outcomes arise when corrective actions are successfully applied, reinforcing a culture of safety, accountability, and adherence to standards, which ultimately cultivates a more resilient organization.
