ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While preparing the implementation strategy for new security and privacy controls on an enterprise HR application, the lead analyst is asked how management will know each control is delivering the expected protection once it is operational. Which element should the analyst add to the strategy to directly address this concern?
A compliance matrix mapping statutory requirements to implemented controls
A catalog of inherited common controls used across all business units
Quantifiable performance metrics that define success thresholds for every control
The POA&M listing remediation tasks and target completion dates
An implementation strategy is not complete unless it includes a means to verify that the selected controls actually achieve their intended purpose. NIST RMF guidance states that control implementation planning should establish measurable criteria so effectiveness can be evaluated after deployment. Quantifiable security performance metrics with defined success thresholds provide that capability. A catalog of inherited common controls, a POA&M, or a compliance matrix are useful documents, but none of them, by themselves, establish how effectiveness will be measured.
