ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While performing continuous monitoring, you identify several medium-severity vulnerabilities that management decides to remediate during the next budget cycle. To satisfy ongoing compliance requirements and prepare for future audits, where should you formally document the required corrective actions, resources, and target completion dates?
In a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) document
In the System Security Plan (SSP)
On the system's approved configuration baseline checklist
In the minutes from the most recent Change Control Board meeting
A Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) is the authoritative record for tracking security weaknesses that cannot be immediately resolved. It lists each finding, the planned remediation tasks, responsible parties, required resources, and scheduled completion dates, allowing assessors to confirm that risks are being managed over time. A System Security Plan (SSP) describes the system and its implemented controls but is not intended for tracking future corrective actions. Change Control Board minutes capture approval decisions, not detailed remediation schedules. A configuration baseline checklist records approved system settings but does not track outstanding vulnerabilities or milestone dates.
