ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

During weekly automated continuous-monitoring scans, you discover that several production servers within the system's authorization boundary are missing a newly released critical security patch. According to NIST Risk Management Framework guidance for ongoing authorization, what should be your first response to maintain an acceptable risk posture?

  • First record the missing patch in the Plan of Action and Milestones and assign remediation dates.

  • Apply the critical patch (or implement an approved interim mitigation) immediately, then update documentation.

  • Disable the monitoring sensors temporarily to suppress further alerts until maintenance can be scheduled.

  • Delay any action until the next scheduled security assessment to gather corroborating evidence.
