ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While preparing a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) for an information system that cannot remediate a critical vulnerability before the authorization decision, the information system security officer must capture specific data so the Authorizing Official can track progress. Which detail is essential to include in the POA&M for this purpose?
Manufacturer warranty and support details for the faulty component
Scheduled completion date and interim milestones for resolving the weakness
Data-retention timeline for records affected by the vulnerability
Names of the assessment team members who identified the issue
A POA&M is intended to communicate known weaknesses and provide a measurable path to remediation. To allow managers and the Authorizing Official to monitor progress, each listed weakness must specify when it is expected to be resolved and the intermediate steps to get there. Therefore, documenting the planned completion date along with interim milestones is mandatory. A data-retention schedule, tester names, or warranty information may be useful in other documents, but they do not provide the time-bound remediation tracking that is the hallmark of an effective POA&M.
