ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
Your organization plans to upgrade the web application framework that supports a mission-critical public portal. Before the change request is submitted to the Change Control Board, which action best ensures that the upgrade's impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability has been fully considered?
Require the requestor to perform and document a security impact analysis against the current baseline.
Add the change to the risk register as an accepted risk and proceed without further review.
Direct operations to deploy the upgrade to the test environment and immediately promote it to production if no errors are found.
Update the system security plan after implementation to include the new framework components.
A documented security impact analysis is required before a change enters the formal approval process. The analysis compares the proposed configuration with the current security and privacy baselines, identifying how new code, libraries, or settings could affect existing controls and overall risk. Conducting the analysis early allows the Change Control Board to make an informed decision. Simply testing and promoting code, updating documentation after release, or accepting the risk without review all bypass the mandatory evaluation step and can expose the organization to unassessed security and compliance issues.
