ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While completing the FIPS 199 security categorization for a cloud-based telemedicine platform that stores and transmits Protected Health Information (PHI), the project team must assign preliminary impact levels for each security objective. Considering HIPAA's strong privacy requirements and typical healthcare availability needs, which impact level assignment is the most appropriate starting point?
Unauthorized disclosure of PHI can cause substantial harm to individuals and expose the organization to significant regulatory penalties under HIPAA, so confidentiality is normally categorized as High per FIPS 199 criteria. Errors in patient data or temporary loss of access can seriously affect care and operations but are less likely to be catastrophic for all cases, making Integrity and Availability best categorized as Moderate. The other options either underrate confidentiality, overstate availability, or assign impact levels that do not align with common healthcare risk assessments.
