ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

After a Change Control Board approves a critical patch for an agency's mission-essential system, the information system security officer moves the code into a designated test environment before any other promotion occurs. According to sound change-management practice, what is the primary reason for using this test environment at this stage?

  • To confirm that the patch meets functional requirements and preserves security controls in an environment isolated from production

  • To measure performance impacts on live users and infrastructure under realistic workload conditions

  • To archive legacy system components and securely dispose of obsolete data before hardware retirement

  • To allow developers to write and compile additional feature enhancements requested by stakeholders
