ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While preparing the implementation strategy for a new information system, you must specify how often security policies, procedures, and related compliance documentation will be formally reviewed to keep them current. Which review interval provides a widely accepted baseline that meets most NIST-based federal requirements before any organization-specific tailoring?
Only after significant system or regulatory changes
NIST SP 800-53 assigns an "at least annually" review cadence to many documentation-oriented controls (for example, PL-1 Policy and Procedures, AT-2 Awareness and Training, and PM-1 Information Security Program Plan). Reviewing compliance documentation no less than once every 12 months establishes a baseline that satisfies common federal expectations. Quarterly reviews exceed the minimum but are not required, whereas biennial or change-only reviews fall short of the default NIST standard unless justified in the organization's risk management process.
