ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
An organization has tested and approved a critical security patch in a staging environment and is about to deploy it to the production environment during the next maintenance window. According to sound change-management practice, what is the most important action to complete immediately before the deployment begins?
Send a notification to external auditors that the change has been fully implemented before the window opens.
Verify that a documented and tested rollback procedure is in place and communicated to the operations team.
Purge historical change tickets from the configuration management database to avoid confusion during deployment.
Temporarily disable all security monitoring tools to prevent false alarms while the patch is applied.
Before any approved change is introduced into the live production environment, the implementation team should confirm that a documented and tested rollback or back-out procedure is available and that the operations staff know how to execute it. A rollback plan limits operational risk by allowing rapid restoration of the last known-good state if the change causes unexpected issues. Purging historical tickets, disabling monitoring, or notifying auditors may be tasks that occur at other points in the process, but they do not directly protect production operations at the moment of deployment.
