ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

After monthly vulnerability scanning flagged several critical operating-system patches as missing, the operations team installed the patches on every affected production server. According to ongoing compliance requirements, what is the security practitioner's next step?

  • Reduce the vulnerability-scan frequency from monthly to quarterly because the risk has been lowered.

  • Remove the patched servers from future vulnerability scans to avoid duplicate findings.

  • Record the remediation in the POA&M or risk register, attach evidence, and close the finding.

  • Submit a formal waiver request so management can accept any residual risk from the vulnerability.
