ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
During the RMF Select step, your agency adopts a FedRAMP-authorized SaaS. Some controls are inherited from the provider; others stay with your operations team. You need every party to sign off on who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed for each control before finalizing the SSP. What document meets this need?
Rely on the POA&M to record any future disagreements about control ownership.
Create a RACI matrix for the selected controls and obtain stakeholder signatures on it.
Insert the cloud provider's shared-responsibility statement into the SSP without additional documentation.
Describe control assignments only in the SSP narrative and proceed without a separate role-mapping table.
A RACI matrix explicitly maps every security control (or control family) to the individuals or organizations that are Responsible for implementation, Accountable for outcomes, Consulted for advice, and Informed of status. By circulating the completed matrix for approval signatures, the system owner, cloud service provider, and other stakeholders provide formal agreement on their respective duties, eliminating ambiguity and ensuring that inherited, shared, and system-specific controls are all covered. Simply inserting a generic shared-responsibility statement, relying on the POA&M, or using only narrative text in the SSP does not provide the same clear, role-based delineation and documented concurrence.
