ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
You are compiling the final security assessment plan for a new payroll application. Objectives, selected controls, assigned assessors, and required tools are already documented. To obtain stakeholder approval, which additional element must be inserted to complete the plan in accordance with NIST guidance?
A milestone schedule that lists planned start and completion dates for each assessment activity
A signed budget authorization memo from the finance department
A comprehensive post-assessment risk remediation plan
A detailed root-cause analysis of deficiencies found in prior audits
NIST SP 800-53A and related federal assessment guidance state that a complete assessment plan must consolidate key planning components, including objectives, scope, methods, resources, and a timeline that identifies when assessment activities will occur. Without a milestone schedule that shows planned start and finish dates, stakeholders cannot judge whether the assessment is feasible or aligns with operational needs. Items such as post-assessment remediation steps or budget authorization are important but are handled in separate documents or later phases, and a root-cause analysis is performed only after findings have been identified. Therefore, adding the assessment milestone schedule is essential to finalize the plan for approval.
