ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

While performing scoping and applicability analysis for a new moderate-impact SaaS, you note that physical security of the hosting data center is already covered by the cloud provider. What is the appropriate way to treat NIST SP 800-53 control PE-3 in your System Security Plan?

  • Replace PE-3 with a compensating control such as enhanced logical access monitoring at the application layer.

  • List PE-3 as Not Applicable and delete it from the control summary since no on-premises equipment exists.

  • Identify PE-3 as an inherited control and reference the cloud provider's authorization evidence in the SSP.

  • Reassess the information system as low-impact so that PE-3 is no longer selected from the baseline.
