ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

While tailoring the NIST SP 800-53 Rev.5 moderate baseline for a new federal cloud system, you are considering adding SC-28(1), which requires cryptographic protection of data at rest. Which reason provides the strongest justification for adding this control enhancement during the selection process?

  • Adding cryptographic protection will reduce the amount of data that must be reported during continuous monitoring reviews.

  • Senior leadership has not yet approved the organization's risk appetite statement.

  • The system processes Controlled Unclassified Information, and the CUI security overlay mandates encryption of data at rest.

  • SC-28(1) belongs to the low-impact baseline and therefore must automatically be applied to any moderate system.
