ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
Your agency is preparing to retire a legacy payroll application that handled large volumes of PII. Under the Disposal phase activities defined in NIST SP 800-64 Revision 2, which step must the team perform first before creating the formal disposal or transition plan and before any sanitization, archiving, or de-installation tasks begin?
Export audit logs and configuration files to a long-term archival repository.
Create and approve a detailed system disposal/transition plan describing sanitization and shutdown activities.
Identify and inventory every component and data set that will be removed from service.
Sanitize all storage media using an approved multi-pass overwrite or physical destruction method.
NIST SP 800-64 Rev. 2 (Table 3-15) lists the initial activity in the Disposal phase as identifying and inventorying all hardware, software, and data that will be removed from service. This inventory establishes exactly what assets and information must be addressed. Only after completing this accounting does the organization develop and approve a disposal or transition plan that details how the inventoried components will be sanitized, archived, transferred, or destroyed. Revoking the ATO, exporting audit logs, and performing media sanitization are later tasks executed in accordance with that approved plan.
