ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
When planning the rollout of a new security configuration, a change-control policy states that the team must confirm the change works as expected and that the rollback plan can be exercised without any impact on live customers or data. Which deployment environment should the engineer use first?
Production environment during a scheduled maintenance window
Training sandbox used for onboarding new employees
Development environment where the configuration was originally coded
Test environment that mirrors production but is completely isolated
The test environment is specifically intended for validating changes in isolation from the live production system. It allows the team to verify functional and security behavior, exercise rollback procedures, and detect unforeseen issues without risking operational data or service availability. A development environment is primarily for coding and unit testing by developers, while production is the live system where any failure could disrupt customers. A training sandbox is meant for user education, not formal change validation.
