ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
Your organization is establishing a compliance program for a new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering that must meet FedRAMP Moderate requirements. After defining the authorization boundary, tailoring the baseline, and confirming that all selected controls have been fully implemented, what is the next major lifecycle activity your team should perform to remain aligned with the framework?
Submit the completed security package to the Authorizing Official to request an authorization to operate.
Begin the continuous monitoring phase and generate monthly plans of action and milestones (POA&Ms).
Arrange for an independent security assessment to validate the effectiveness of the implemented controls.
Return to the control selection step to confirm the appropriateness of the chosen baseline.
Both the NIST Risk Management Framework and the FedRAMP Security Assessment Framework require an independent evaluation of implemented safeguards before any authorization decision is made. Once controls are put in place, an assessor examines evidence and performs testing to confirm that the controls are correctly implemented, operating as intended, and meeting the desired security outcomes. Only after this assessment is complete can the package move to the Authorizing Official for an authorization decision, and continuous monitoring will follow authorization. Revisiting control selection is not normally required unless significant changes or analysis results dictate it.
