ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

While drafting the annual security assessment plan, you review the last two audit reports for a cloud-hosted ERP system and note that both cited unresolved weaknesses in database backup encryption. How should this recurring finding influence the scope and resourcing of the upcoming assessment?

  • Exclude backup encryption from the assessment scope because it was already documented in prior audits.

  • Defer testing of backup encryption until the next audit cycle to give system owners more remediation time.

  • Record the issue as an accepted residual risk and focus assessment resources on new control areas instead.

  • Plan a dedicated follow-up test with additional sampling and interviews to verify that backup encryption controls are now properly implemented.
