ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

During risk assessment you determine that, after all planned controls are in place, a new SaaS application still shows a residual risk score of 18 on the corporate matrix, while the chief risk officer has set an organizational risk-tolerance ceiling of 15. Which action should the system owner take before submitting the authorization package?

  • Purchase additional cyber-liability insurance to transfer the excess risk, then submit the package for authorization.

  • Add corrective actions to the POA&M and coordinate further mitigation until the residual risk is reduced to 15 or below.

  • Formally accept the residual risk on behalf of the organization and proceed with system deployment.

  • Include the current residual risk in the Security Assessment Report and request the authorizing official to issue an immediate ATO with conditions.
