ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
A development team proposes adding real-time database replication to a new cloud availability zone to improve application performance. As the information system security officer (ISSO), what is the FIRST action you should take to decide whether this change can proceed without violating the system's approved security and privacy baselines?
Update the plan of action and milestones (POA&M) with potential vulnerabilities introduced by replication before analyzing the change.
Request that the Change Control Board schedule the production rollout during a low-usage maintenance window.
Conduct a formal security impact analysis to determine which existing controls will be affected or need enhancement.
Deploy the replication feature in a test environment and rely on continuous monitoring to discover any control gaps.
Before any change is approved, the organization must understand how the modification could alter the system's risk posture and its ability to meet established security and privacy baselines. Performing a security impact analysis compares the proposed design with the current, approved control set, identifies controls that will be added, modified, or potentially weakened, and determines compensating safeguards or documentation updates that will be required. Continuous monitoring, POA&M updates, or scheduling deployment occur only after the impact of the change is understood and a formal decision is made.
