ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

Your security scan flags a critical remote code-execution flaw on a public-facing application server. The vendor has issued a patch, yet operations will not permit a reboot for the next 48 hours. Which action best satisfies ongoing compliance requirements to remediate the risk while minimizing business disruption?

  • Accept the risk for 48 hours because there is no current evidence of active exploitation.

  • Immediately disconnect the server from the network until it can be patched.

  • Implement a targeted web application firewall signature that blocks the exploit traffic, then apply the vendor patch at the next maintenance window.

  • Wait until the next scheduled patch night to install the update and record the vulnerability in the POA&M.
