ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
During the categorization of a hospital's electronic medical record (EMR) system, the risk assessment team considers potential patient death if the system becomes unavailable. Under FIPS 199 terminology, which impact level best describes the loss of availability for this system?
Moderate impact
High impact
No categorization required; HIPAA regulations supersede FIPS 199
FIPS 199 states that a High impact level is assigned when loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability could be expected to have a severe or catastrophic adverse effect on organizational operations, assets, or individuals-including the possibility of serious injury or loss of life. Because EMR downtime could delay critical treatment and endanger patients, the effect on individuals is potentially fatal, meeting the threshold for High impact. A Moderate impact involves significant but not life-threatening harm, while Low impact is limited and recoverable. Regulatory exemption is not a recognized FIPS 199 category and does not override the need to determine an impact level.
