ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While gathering requirements for a new cloud-hosted payroll application, the project team wants to embed security as early as possible in the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Which task should they complete during the requirements-gathering phase to achieve this goal?
Identify and document security and privacy requirements derived from business objectives, data sensitivity, and regulatory mandates.
Install continuous monitoring agents in the production environment to collect security telemetry.
Conduct penetration testing against an early prototype to uncover exploitable vulnerabilities.
Configure baseline hardening settings on the development and test servers before coding begins.
During the requirements-gathering (requirements analysis) phase, the project team must determine and document the system's security and privacy requirements that stem from business objectives, data sensitivity, and applicable laws or regulations. Capturing these requirements early allows security controls to be designed into the system from the outset, guiding architecture, development, and later testing activities. Configuring servers, performing penetration tests, or deploying production monitoring are important security tasks but occur in later SDLC phases-implementation, testing, and operations, respectively-after requirements have been set.
