ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

An e-commerce system subject to PCI DSS cannot currently fund the controls needed to meet the organization's risk tolerance for cardholder data theft. The system owner proposes shifting processing to a PCI-DSS-certified payment gateway that contractually assumes liability for fraud losses. Within RMF Step 6, what risk treatment is being pursued?

  • Accept the risk and document the decision in the authorization package.

  • Transfer the risk to a third party through outsourcing and contractual liability.

  • Avoid the risk by discontinuing credit card transactions.

  • Mitigate the risk by implementing compensating technical controls in house.
