Who conducts and coordinates the Integrated Defense Risk Management Process (IDRMP)?

• A. Integrated Defense Team
• B. Integrated Defense Work Group (IDWG)
• C. IDRMP Secretariat
• D. Defense Risk Council

Answer: (B)

Managing risk across Integrated Defense needs a cross-functional group that brings together experts from multiple areas, owns the process of identifying and assessing risks, assigns mitigations, and tracks progress over time. The Integrated Defense Work Group is built for this role, coordinating the IDRMP by uniting stakeholders, maintaining the risk register, ensuring timely actions, and keeping leadership informed about status and risk trends. The other options play supportive or governance roles rather than conducting the day-to-day coordination: a broader Integrated Defense Team isn’t defined as the coordinating body; the IDRMP Secretariat handles administration and documentation; and the Defense Risk Council operates at a higher governance level, reviewing and approving risk posture rather than running the ongoing process.
