ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

During the Select step of the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), a system owner determines that several controls in the chosen baseline exceed mission needs and could impede usability. According to RMF guidance and sound governance practice, which action should the owner take next?

  • Deploy the system first and request a waiver for the excessive controls during the authorization phase.

  • Apply the entire baseline as written to ensure maximum protection despite usability concerns.

  • Tailor the baseline by scoping, parameterizing, or substituting compensating controls and record the rationale in the security plan.

  • Postpone the control decision until the Implement step to gather additional operational data.
