ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

During final authorization preparations for a new SaaS payroll platform, the assessment team reports two controls are ineffective, resulting in a moderate residual risk. Organizational policy specifies that only the Authorizing Official (AO) may accept moderate risk levels. What should the CGRC practitioner do next to obtain stakeholder concurrence?

  • Remove the ineffective controls from the SSP and submit the authorization package, since moderate risks are considered tolerable.

  • Purchase additional cyber-insurance to transfer liability and close the findings without further AO involvement.

  • Note the deficiencies in the Security Assessment Report and allow the system to go live while awaiting AO feedback.

  • Record the outstanding risks in the POA&M and request written risk acceptance from the Authorizing Official before seeking an ATO.
