ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While finalizing the System Security Plan (SSP) for a new payroll platform, which element would BEST satisfy the system purpose and functionality requirement for the authorizing official?
A narrative explaining how the application supports payroll processing, interfaces with HR and banking systems, and identifies primary user roles.
A rack diagram detailing server locations, power consumption, and cabling within the data center.
The latest vulnerability scan report with findings categorized by criticality.
A table listing all IP subnets and hostnames allocated to the platform.
The purpose and functionality section of an SSP is expected to connect the information system to the organization's mission or business processes and describe the major capabilities it provides, along with the primary stakeholders who rely on it. A narrative that explains how the payroll application calculates compensation, exchanges data with HR and banking systems, and identifies key user roles (e.g., payroll clerks, HR staff, finance managers) directly meets that expectation. Hardware rack diagrams, IP inventories, and vulnerability scan results are useful in other parts of the SSP (e.g., system architecture, inventory, or risk assessment) but do not by themselves explain why the system exists or the business functions it enables, so they are insufficient for documenting purpose and functionality.
