ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

You are the system owner of a U.S. federal moderate-impact information system that will go live with one low-impact security control missing. The deficiency is documented in the POA&M with a 90-day remediation milestone, and the Authorizing Official (AO) has determined the residual risk is within the agency's tolerance. Before the AO can sign the Authorization to Operate, which action is explicitly required by the NIST Risk Management Framework?

  • Re-categorize the system from moderate to low impact so the control is no longer required

  • Obtain signed residual-risk acceptance letters from the system owner and mission/business process owners

  • Deploy an immediate compensating technical safeguard that fully mitigates the missing control

  • Include the control deficiency and its 90-day remediation plan in the system's approved Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M)
