ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
A new CIO observes that IT initiatives often proceed without demonstrating how they support the company's stated growth strategy. To embed accountability and keep technology efforts aligned with business objectives, which governance action should be implemented first?
Charter a business-driven IT steering committee that regularly approves and monitors major projects.
Develop a comprehensive risk register listing residual risks for all information systems.
Publish a standardized server hardening baseline and mandate compliance across the enterprise.
Schedule quarterly penetration tests on critical applications to validate their security posture.
A cross-functional IT steering committee sponsored by senior leadership is a classic governance mechanism. By including executives who represent both business and technology interests, the committee sets priorities, allocates resources, and monitors performance, ensuring IT projects demonstrably support enterprise goals. Creating a risk register, conducting penetration tests, or publishing hardening baselines are valuable practices, but they address risk management or operational security-not the overarching alignment and accountability that governance requires.
