ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

While implementing controls for a new cloud-based financial reporting system (RMF Step 3), the team finds the hosting provider's hypervisor cannot support the mandated FIPS 140-3 validated encryption module. To keep the project on schedule and remain compliant, what is the MOST appropriate next action?

  • Suspend the implementation project entirely until the provider upgrades the platform to support the required FIPS-validated module.

  • Select and deploy a compensating control-such as establishing a host-based IPSec tunnel that uses a FIPS-validated module-and document the rationale in the system security plan and POA&M.

  • Request that the Authorizing Official grant a risk acceptance so the system can operate without any encryption control until hardware is replaced.

  • Proceed with deployment using the hypervisor's native (non-validated) encryption and note the issue for future consideration in the next upgrade cycle.
