If a KRI consistently exceeds thresholds, CRISC instructs that corrective action must be initiated, because this indicates sustained elevated risk. Thresholds should not be adjusted simply to match poor performance. Forward-looking metrics may help but do not address the current issue. Continuing to monitor without taking action allows the risk to remain unaddressed. Engaging the risk owner to initiate mitigation steps is the correct governance response.
