ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
While preparing the SSP for a cloud-hosted HR application that syncs with on-premises Active Directory and interfaces with a SaaS payroll service, which single artifact most directly documents the system's hardware, software, trust zones, and all internal and external connections to define its authorization boundary?
A configuration baseline listing approved operating-system versions and patch levels for each server
A current network and data-flow diagram that shows all system components, trust zones, and connections to the internal AD environment and the external SaaS payroll service
A business impact analysis defining recovery-time and recovery-point objectives for HR services
A RACI chart mapping HR-system stakeholders to their roles and responsibilities
NIST SP 800-18 and SP 800-37 state that an SSP must include a diagram of the system's architecture-often called a network or data-flow diagram-that shows the authorization boundary, major components, trust zones, data paths, and every internal or external interconnection. Other documents, such as RACI charts, configuration baselines, or business impact analyses, serve different planning or compliance purposes but do not visually depict the system's components and connections, so they cannot fulfill the requirement to describe the system's architecture in the SSP.
