ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

During the Select step of the RMF, you must establish a security control baseline for an information system that FIPS 199 has categorized as MODERATE impact. Which statement best describes how the NIST SP 800-53 moderate-impact baseline is constructed?

  • It is selected solely at the Authorizing Official's discretion and does not depend on FIPS 199 impact categorization or FIPS 200 requirements.

  • It retains every control in the low-impact baseline and adds the controls and enhancements specifically identified for moderate (M) impact systems.

  • It consists exclusively of controls that NIST labels moderate (M), intentionally omitting low (L) controls to avoid redundancy.

  • It replaces the low-impact control set with entirely new, stronger controls, and excludes any controls that appear only in the low baseline.
