ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

Your agency's governance framework specifies a very low tolerance for risks that could expose personally identifiable information (PII). During security authorization preparations, the assessor calculates that the system's residual risk for unauthorized disclosure of PII is just above the organization's defined threshold. To remain aligned with the organization's risk tolerance, what is the most appropriate next step?

  • Proceed with submitting the authorization package as-is and request the authorizing official to accept the elevated risk.

  • Document the excess risk on the POA&M and request a delayed remediation date after the system is in production.

  • Introduce additional or enhanced security controls to bring the residual risk within the defined threshold, then update the authorization package.

  • Purchase cyber-liability insurance and propose transferring the excess risk to a third party.
