ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

While reviewing the initial security assessment report, you learn that the organization's on-premises payroll application runs on an obsolete operating system that is no longer supported by the vendor and cannot be adequately isolated from the internal network. Which risk response most closely reflects an "avoid" strategy in this situation?

  • Record the vulnerability in the risk register and continue operating the application until budget becomes available.

  • Purchase a cyber-liability insurance policy to cover potential losses if the legacy system is compromised.

  • Keep the application but implement strict network segmentation and weekly vulnerability scans as compensating controls.

  • Decommission the legacy system and migrate payroll processing to a supported, vendor-managed SaaS platform.
