What factors can cause controls that are established and implemented for a prolonged period to lose their effectiveness in the composite risk management process?

Controls established for a prolonged period can lose effectiveness due to changes in the risk environment, such as emerging threats or evolving regulations that render existing controls outdated. Additionally, complacency can set in if stakeholders become less vigilant or fail to regularly review and update the controls. Human factors, such as turnover or insufficient training, can also weaken adherence to established procedures. Finally, technological advancements may introduce new vulnerabilities that existing controls do not address.
