ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

An initial assessment report identifies a critical vulnerability in a vendor-supplied data-integration appliance. Replacing the appliance is not feasible this quarter, so you propose tightening firewall rules and deploying a host-based IPS until a patch is released. Which risk-response category best describes this approach?

  • Accept the risk and take no further action until the vendor releases a patch.

  • Transfer the risk by purchasing or expanding a cyber-insurance policy.

  • Mitigate the risk by reducing its likelihood or impact through additional controls.

  • Avoid the risk by discontinuing use of the vulnerable appliance immediately.
