ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
Your agency's policy mandates that all production servers run only vendor-supported operating system versions and receive security patches within 30 days of release. During continuous monitoring, which automatically generated data set will provide the clearest evidence that the requirement is being met for every server instance?
Firewall log summaries detailing the number of blocked inbound connection attempts
Authenticated vulnerability scan reports identifying missing or applied security patches on each server
Annual security awareness training completion rates for system administrators
Temperature and humidity readings from the data center's environmental monitoring system
Authenticated vulnerability scan results directly compare each server's current software versions and patch levels with authoritative vulnerability and vendor-support data. A clean or remediated scan demonstrates that required patches are installed within policy timeframes, providing objective proof of configuration compliance. Firewall deny logs focus on network traffic rather than patch status, so they cannot confirm whether servers are up-to-date. Training completion statistics show user awareness activities, not technical control effectiveness. Environmental sensor data confirms proper facility conditions but offers no information about software versions or patch levels. Therefore, vulnerability scan reports are the most relevant evidence for this compliance requirement.
