ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
During categorization under FIPS 199, the security team identifies these potential impacts for the organization's payroll system: confidentiality - moderate, integrity - moderate, availability - high. According to federal guidance, which overall impact level should be recorded in the system security plan?
High; the system categorization equals the highest single impact rating among the three objectives.
Moderate; confidentiality is normally the deciding factor for payroll data.
Moderate; the overall level is based on the most common rating across objectives.
Low; availability drives only operational scheduling, so it is discounted in the final rating.
FIPS Publication 199 states that the security category of an information system is determined by taking the highest impact value assigned to any one of the three security objectives-confidentiality, integrity, or availability. Because availability is rated high, the overall system impact level must also be high. Averaging, selecting the majority value, or prioritizing confidentiality alone does not follow FIPS 199 methodology.
