ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
During a weekly review of the continuous monitoring dashboard for a moderate-impact SaaS authorized under FedRAMP, you notice that the data feed showing adherence to hardened operating system baseline settings has not updated for 48 hours. Which data collection mechanism should you check first to restore real-time visibility into configuration drift?
The monthly privileged-account re-certification workflow
The automated SCAP-based configuration scanner integrated with the asset inventory
The annual external penetration test engagement portal
The quarterly manual physical inventory reconciliation spreadsheet
Automated Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) configuration scans are designed to run frequently and provide near real-time verification that system settings remain aligned with approved security baselines. If that feed stops updating, any drift from the baseline could go undetected, so restoring the SCAP scanner's operation is the immediate priority. Physical inventory reconciliations, annual penetration tests, and monthly privileged-account reviews are valuable compliance activities, but they occur too infrequently and do not supply timely configuration data needed for continuous monitoring.
