ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

During continuous monitoring, a critical vendor patch is released for a production payroll system that stores sensitive employee data. Waiting for the next scheduled monthly maintenance window would leave the system exposed. What is the most appropriate next step to manage the identified risk while remaining compliant?

  • Take the server offline until a full reauthorization assessment can be completed.

  • Submit an emergency change request, test and deploy the patch through the expedited change process, and record any residual risk in the POA&M.

  • Document the finding as an accepted risk until the next regular maintenance window.

  • Apply the patch immediately in production without change-control approval to minimize the attack window.
