ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While compiling the final security assessment report for an enterprise resource-planning system, the audit team must determine the order in which its remediation recommendations will appear. Which guiding principle should most influence how the team prioritizes these recommendations?
List recommendations in the sequence the deficiencies were discovered during fieldwork.
Highlight controls that match the auditors' strongest technical expertise before other items.
Address findings that have the highest combined likelihood of occurrence and greatest potential impact first, followed by progressively lower-risk issues.
Begin with fixes that can be implemented at the lowest cost, then move to more expensive actions.
Recommendations in the final report should be sequenced according to the relative risk each unresolved finding poses to the organization. By ranking issues with the greatest combination of likelihood and potential business impact first, decision-makers can focus limited resources on actions that most reduce overall risk. Ordering by implementation cost, discovery timeline, or auditor familiarity does not necessarily address the most serious threats and therefore is not an acceptable primary prioritization method.
