ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

You are drafting an implementation strategy for a new cloud-based HR system. Senior management requires compliance with both NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Which action will best ensure that the selected security and privacy controls satisfy both frameworks without unnecessary duplication?

  • Adopt the strictest requirement from either framework case-by-case and record the rationale in the POA&M after deployment.

  • Rely on the cloud provider's default security settings and add missing safeguards during the first annual audit cycle.

  • Postpone any formal comparison until the assessment phase and implement compensating controls for any gaps that auditors find.

  • Create a detailed control-mapping matrix that cross-references each NIST 800-53 control to its equivalent ISO/IEC 27001 requirement before finalizing the build plan.
