ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
During an annual update of the System Security Plan for a cloud-hosted analytics platform, you record that it directly supports the organization's data-driven mission and that it processes only moderate-impact information under FIPS 199. To finish aligning the document with organizational context, what must you still add?
Quantitative metrics that will be used to judge each control's effectiveness.
The budget and staffing allocations associated with each planned control.
The residual risk the authorizing official has formally accepted.
The system boundaries, authorized connections, and assets covered by the controls.
Documentation of control implementation must explicitly address three contextual anchors: purpose (how the system supports the mission or business objectives), scope (the specific boundaries, components, and authorized interfaces of the system), and risk profile (e.g., impact levels or risk tolerance). The scenario already captures the mission alignment and identifies the impact level, but it does not yet define the system's boundaries and interfaces. Without this scoping information, reviewers cannot determine which assets and connections the listed controls protect. The other options-residual risk statements, effectiveness metrics, and funding details-may appear elsewhere in security documentation but are not required elements for establishing alignment with purpose, scope, and risk profile.
