CGRC Control Selection Practice Question
You are tailoring a baseline and encounter a control marked as 'Not Applicable'. What is the correct documentation approach?
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
✓
Document the removal and the justification in the SSP.
When controls are removed from the baseline during tailoring, the justification must be recorded to support auditability.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Mark the control as 'Implemented' and leave the field blank.
Why it's wrong here
This would be an inaccurate statement of compliance.
- ✓
Document the removal and the justification in the SSP.
Why this is correct
Justification is required for all tailoring actions.
- ✗
Request a waiver from the CISO.
Why it's wrong here
Waivers are for non-compliant controls, not for tailoring out non-applicable controls.
- ✗
Just delete the control from the system security plan (SSP).
Why it's wrong here
Documentation of the rationale is required for the authorization package.
