ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
You are reviewing an information system that is entering its initial authorization. One participant must define the system boundary, document the initial security categorization, develop and maintain the system security plan, allocate resources for control implementation and assessment, and formally submit the authorization package to the Authorizing Official. Under NIST's Risk Management Framework, which role carries these responsibilities?
NIST SP 800-37 assigns primary responsibility for documenting the system's initial security categorization, defining and describing the system boundary, developing and maintaining the system security plan, ensuring resources are available for security control implementation and assessment, and assembling and submitting the authorization package to the Authorizing Official to the System Owner. The Authorizing Official ultimately reviews and approves the security categorization and makes the final risk determination, the Security Control Assessor performs the independent assessment of controls, and the Chief Information Officer provides enterprise-wide oversight rather than day-to-day system-level documentation and resourcing.
