ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
During a controls assessment of an HR application, the assessor finishes interviews, document review, and technical testing. To properly record the preliminary findings before management review, what is the MOST appropriate next step?
Issue a signed compliance letter declaring controls as pass or fail for stakeholder distribution.
Populate the draft assessment report with each control observation, associated evidence, and likely impact.
Enter the residual risk ratings and assign remediation owners in the enterprise risk register.
Provide senior management with the unfiltered vulnerability scan results for independent interpretation.
Good practice for recording preliminary findings is to begin drafting the assessment report and enter each observed control deficiency (or strength), the supporting evidence, and the potential impact. This creates a structured, reviewable record that stakeholders can validate before the report is finalized. Placing items directly in the risk register (avoidance/acceptance decisions) is a later risk-response activity, issuing a signed compliance letter belongs to the final report stage, and handing over raw scan data without context does not satisfy the requirement to document findings.
