ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

You are the ISSO for a newly authorized FISMA-moderate information system. Management asks you to "stand up" continuous monitoring as quickly as possible. According to NIST SP 800-137, which action should you complete before choosing monitoring tools or setting data-collection frequencies to ensure results truly support ongoing authorization decisions?

  • Define monitoring objectives and metrics that reflect the organization's risk tolerance.

  • Assign operations staff to review security alerts on a daily rotation.

  • Install automated scanners and dashboards to begin collecting vulnerability and configuration data.

  • Open preliminary POA&Ms for all known control weaknesses to track remediation progress.
