ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
A federal agency installs an automated vulnerability‐scanning service on every production server. Once configured, the service runs through software routines and directly reports results to a dashboard without manual intervention. According to NIST control categories, how should this control be classified?
NIST differentiates controls by how they are implemented and executed. Technical controls are carried out through hardware, software, or firmware mechanisms-exactly the case with an automated vulnerability scanner that runs within the system. Operational controls rely primarily on people, while management controls address policy and oversight, and common controls are shared, inheritable safeguards. Because the scanner's functionality is performed entirely by software embedded in each server, it is best categorized as a technical control.
