ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
During the Testing phase of the SDLC, a project team must demonstrate that the selected security controls operate as intended before moving to production. Which activity best meets this objective for an information system undergoing RMF authorization?
Draft the system security plan to document applied and inherited controls
Populate the continuous-monitoring strategy with event-driven triggers
Conduct an independent security control assessment in a representative test environment
Develop configuration baseline documentation for approved changes
In the Testing phase, organizations perform a formal security test and evaluation. Under NIST's Risk Management Framework, this is accomplished through an independent security control assessment that verifies each implemented control for correct implementation, proper operation, and expected outcome. Drafting the system security plan, defining continuous-monitoring triggers, or creating configuration baselines are important but do not provide the objective evidence of control effectiveness required at this stage.
