The PRIMARY reason for initiating a policy exception process is when: 

Answer options:

A. operations are too busy to comply.
B. the risk is justified by the benefit.
C. policy compliance would be difficult to enforce.
D. users may initially be inconvenienced.

B

Exceptions to policy are warranted in circumstances where compliance may be difficult or impossible and the risk of noncompliance is outweighed by the benefits. Being busy is not a justification for policy exceptions, nor is the fact that compliance cannot be enforced. User inconvenience is not a reason to automatically grant exception to a policy.
