✓

Design lightweight, automated compliance checks embedded directly within the CI/CD pipeline.

'Keep it simple and practical' dictates that unnecessary bureaucracy should be stripped away. Designing minimal viable compliance controls integrated directly into the Jira/ServiceNow workflow achieves this.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
Delegate all risk management decisions entirely to the software development leads.
Why it's wrong here
Risk governance requires oversight outside of just the development team.
✗
Conduct a 3-month comprehensive audit of all historical agile deployments before releasing new code.
Why it's wrong here
This introduces massive delays, contradicting practical and agile principles.
✓
Design lightweight, automated compliance checks embedded directly within the CI/CD pipeline.
Why this is correct
This streamlines the process, removing bureaucracy while maintaining necessary compliance controls.
✗
Remove all compliance gates for agile teams to maximize deployment speed.
Why it's wrong here
Removing all gates violates the compliance aspect of GRC.
