ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While preparing for an internal audit of an e-commerce platform, the lead assessor needs documentary evidence that defines the organization's requirements for secure coding before looking at lower-level artifacts. Which document should be reviewed first to establish that top-level requirement?
The secure code review checklist used by quality assurance testers
The most recent static code analysis scan report for production releases
The organization's application security policy that mandates secure coding practices
Developer onboarding training slides covering secure development principles
An information security policy (or application security policy when scoped to software) sits at the highest level of the policy-standard-procedure hierarchy and sets the mandatory organizational requirements for secure coding. Standards, checklists, training material, and scan results provide supporting detail or proof of implementation, but they derive their authority from the overarching policy. Therefore, reviewing the secure coding policy first ensures the assessor understands the definitive requirements that other documents are meant to satisfy.
