ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
During system authorization you discover a moderate-risk vulnerability that cannot be corrected before the Authorizing Official's decision. To capture the residual risk, required resources, responsible parties, and planned completion milestones, which document should you update?
The Plan of Action and Milestones is the formal vehicle for recording weaknesses that remain after control implementation. It lists each residual vulnerability, the resources and responsible individuals assigned, and scheduled milestones for remediation or mitigation. A System Security Plan describes current controls and system context but does not track future corrective actions. The Security Assessment Report summarizes testing results, while a Configuration Management Plan governs change control processes; neither is intended to manage outstanding risks or remediation schedules.
