ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

While tailoring the security controls for a moderate-impact federal system, the team finds a legacy sensor that cannot use FIPS-validated cryptography required by control SC-13. Which action represents the most appropriate compensating control?

  • Increase the frequency of manual audit log reviews on the sensor to once per day to detect anomalies.

  • Record the limitation in the SSP and request an authorization waiver from the Authorizing Official without additional safeguards.

  • Route the sensor's traffic through a FIPS 140-validated encryption gateway that establishes an IPsec tunnel to all endpoints.

  • Disable encryption on the sensor and rely solely on an isolated VLAN to protect its network traffic.
