ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
When categorizing a new system for the R&D department, you note it will store unreleased product schematics considered proprietary intellectual property. Prior to authorizing any electronic transfer of these files to an off-site manufacturing contractor, which handling requirement is generally considered mandatory for this information type?
Use end-to-end cryptographic protection to encrypt the files and transmission channel.
Publish the Data Protection Impact Assessment on the organization's public website.
Label the schematics as public domain after 30 days to simplify downstream reuse.
Perform quarterly PCI-DSS vulnerability scans on the contractor's network.
Proprietary or trade-secret information receives heightened confidentiality protections because its unauthorized disclosure can directly erode competitive advantage. Industry standards such as NIST SP 800-171 and ISO/IEC 27002 call for cryptographic protection of sensitive business information whenever it leaves organizational control. End-to-end encryption (for example, TLS or encrypted file containers) mitigates interception risk during transmission. Routine PCI-DSS scans address payment data, not intellectual property. Declaring the material public domain or posting a DPIA would undermine confidentiality and is not required for proprietary content.
