ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
You are compiling the System Security Plan (SSP) for a new SaaS logistics platform before it is submitted for independent assessment. To prevent scope creep and ensure that security controls are applied only to components that truly belong to the system, which SSP section must be clearly defined and approved first?
Contingency plan testing schedule for disaster recovery exercises
Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) summary outlining corrective tasks
The system boundary description is foundational because it identifies the specific assets, environments, and interconnections that constitute the information system. All subsequent control selection, assessment activities, and risk determinations rely on an agreed-upon boundary. A POA&M summary, contingency plan testing schedule, and continuous monitoring strategy are important, but each depends on knowing exactly which components are in scope; they cannot effectively prevent scope misunderstandings on their own.
