CGRC GRC Program Practice Question
An organization is transitioning from a siloed risk management approach to an integrated GRC program. During the initial implementation, data inconsistency between the Risk Register and the Compliance Control library is observed. Which action best facilitates 'Common Control Framework' (CCF) mapping?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Implement a 'Many-to-Many' relationship mapping between Controls and Regulatory Requirements.
CCF mapping involves linking a single control implementation to multiple regulatory requirements to reduce testing burden.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create manual spreadsheets to reconcile the data outside the GRC platform.
Why it's wrong here
This creates a 'shadow IT' risk and does not solve the underlying platform data linkage issue.
- ✗
Force all business units to use identical risk taxonomy naming conventions.
Why it's wrong here
While helpful, taxonomy alignment is secondary to the functional mapping logic of the CCF.
- ✗
Disable the Regulatory Requirement module to focus only on Risks.
Why it's wrong here
This abandons the goal of integration.
- ✓
Implement a 'Many-to-Many' relationship mapping between Controls and Regulatory Requirements.
Why this is correct
This is the standard architectural approach to CCF implementation in GRC systems.
