ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While finalizing a system's risk response plan, the security team needs a place to log each security control deficiency that senior management has decided to accept for now, as well as any weaknesses that are only partly remediated so they remain visible until closed. In which document or section should these unresolved items be recorded for ongoing tracking and oversight?
The Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) is the authoritative artifact for tracking security-control weaknesses that remain unresolved or have been formally accepted. For every deficiency it captures the planned corrective actions, required resources, responsible parties, and target or milestone dates, ensuring the issue stays visible until it is remediated or permanently accepted. A communication matrix merely specifies who will exchange risk information, the testing methodology annex describes assessment procedures, and an executive summary offers only a high-level overview-none of these provide the detailed, line-item tracking required for open control deficiencies.
