ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

A federal agency deploying a legacy application discovers the software cannot support the FIPS-validated encryption required by SC-13 (Cryptographic Protection) in the NIST SP 800-53 moderate baseline. Which action would serve as an effective compensating control to meet the intent of SC-13 while allowing the system to operate?

  • Place a reverse proxy that terminates all client connections using a FIPS 140-validated TLS module, then forwards traffic to the legacy application on an isolated internal network.

  • Increase vulnerability scanning of the legacy server from quarterly to monthly to identify unencrypted traffic more quickly.

  • Depend on existing badge-controlled physical access to the data center to prevent unauthorized interception of network traffic.

  • Postpone the system's Authorization to Operate until the vendor releases a FIPS-compliant version and document the delay in the POA&M.
