ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While preparing the assessment plan, the lead assessor inventories assets and selects assessment methods so the level of effort can be estimated accurately. Which overlooked factor is most likely to cause the team to underestimate the person-hours needed for the engagement?
Custom in-house applications that cannot be assessed with automated tools
Existing continuous-monitoring dashboards that already export security metrics
Controls inherited from a common control provider's security package
Previously resolved POA&M findings documented for the system
Custom-developed code that requires manual review or functional testing typically cannot be covered by automated scanners. Manual code review is labor-intensive and significantly increases assessment hours. Closed POA&M items, inherited controls, and available monitoring dashboards generally reduce or at least do not markedly increase assessment effort, so omitting them from the estimate is less likely to cause a shortfall in planned resources.
