ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

You are assessing a moderate-impact system that stores CUI in a SaaS file-sharing platform. The baseline requires encryption of data at rest with a FIPS 140-validated module, but the provider only supplies proprietary encryption that is not validated. Which compensating control most directly fulfills the underlying security objective?

  • Rely on the provider's SOC 2 Type II report as evidence the proprietary encryption is adequate.

  • Document a risk acceptance in the POA&M and defer action until the next authorization cycle.

  • Perform client-side encryption using a FIPS 140-validated module before files are uploaded to the service.

  • Place the SaaS URL behind the organization's web proxy that enforces TLS 1.2.
