ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While drafting the System Security Plan (SSP) for a web application hosted on a FedRAMP-authorized cloud provider, you notice that control AC-2 (Account Management) is fully implemented and documented by the cloud service provider (CSP) in its control responsibility matrix. To record this properly in your SSP, what is the most appropriate action?
Remove AC-2 from the control list and add a compensating control managed by the application team.
Mark AC-2 as not applicable to the system because account management occurs in the provider's environment.
Identify AC-2 as inherited, cite the CSP's FedRAMP documentation, and reference the shared responsibility matrix in the SSP.
Copy the CSP's procedures into the customer section of the SSP and show the system owner as the implementing party.
Because the CSP already implements and documents AC-2 as part of its FedRAMP authorization package, the system owner should list AC-2 as an inherited control in the SSP and reference the CSP's responsibility matrix or FedRAMP SSP. Simply declaring the control not applicable, duplicating the control as if the system owner implements it, or omitting it entirely would misrepresent who is responsible and could create assessment gaps.
