ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

During Step 5 of the NIST RMF you learn that a critical buffer-overflow flaw exists in a public-facing encryption library. The system owner and ISSO agree the code can be patched, but development and testing will take three months. Which action best reflects a risk mitigation approach that also secures stakeholder concurrence before the authorization decision?

  • Record the vulnerability and planned three-month fix in a POA&M and seek the authorizing official's approval of the mitigation schedule.

  • Arrange for cyber-liability insurance to cover potential losses if the flaw is exploited.

  • Recommend shutting down the server until a replacement encryption module is available, eliminating exposure entirely.

  • Mark the issue in the Security Assessment Report as negligible operational risk, requiring no further action.
