ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While assembling the authorization package for a newly deployed cloud application, a security analyst must include the document that captures the assessor's evaluation of implemented controls, identifies any remaining weaknesses, and recommends corrective actions. Which document best satisfies this requirement for the authorizing official?
The Security Assessment Report (SAR) is the portion of the authorization package that documents the assessor's methods, findings, and recommendations. It provides management with an objective analysis of control effectiveness, highlights residual vulnerabilities, and suggests remediation steps-information the authorizing official needs to make a risk-based decision.
The System Security Plan (SSP) describes the system, its environment, and the controls implemented but does not present test results or assessor conclusions.
The Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) lists deficiencies and planned remediation activities; it does not contain the original assessment evidence.
A Continuous Monitoring Strategy outlines how security controls will be monitored after authorization, not the initial assessment results.
