ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
You are performing a final review of an authorization package before sending it to the authorizing official. Several minor editorial issues exist, but you also notice that two control weaknesses described in the Security Assessment Report (SAR) are missing from the Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M). Which of the following omissions is most likely to delay the authorization decision if it is not corrected?
Ensuring each SAR-identified control deficiency is entered in the POA&M with a remediation plan and milestones.
Correcting the cover page to list the accurate system name and version.
Reformatting section headings so all documents follow the current style guide.
Updating the SSP so it references the latest hardware and software inventory baseline.
Untracked control deficiencies present a direct gap in the risk picture the authorizing official needs to see. If weaknesses documented in the SAR do not appear in the POA&M with planned remediation steps and milestones, the organization cannot demonstrate that it is managing those risks, which often results in the authorization decision being postponed. Editorial issues such as inventory currency, document titles, or formatting rarely cause a delay as long as the underlying control status is transparent and properly managed.
