CGRC · Question #583

A security control that is implemented in an information system in part as a common control and in part as a system-specific control. See also Common Control and System-Specific Security Control. Resp

The correct answer is A. Hybrid Security Control. A hybrid security control combines elements of both common controls, which are inherited from enterprise-wide services, and system-specific controls, which are implemented directly for a particular information system.

Why each option

A hybrid security control combines elements of both common controls, which are inherited from enterprise-wide services, and system-specific controls, which are implemented directly for a particular information system.

AHybrid Security ControlCorrect

A hybrid security control is explicitly defined as a control where some aspects are implemented as a common control across multiple systems, while other aspects are specifically implemented and managed for a particular information system. This blending of shared and system-unique responsibilities distinguishes it from purely common or system-specific controls.

BSystem-Specific Security Control

A system-specific security control is implemented solely for a particular information system, without shared components with other systems.

CNetwork Security Controls

Network Security Controls are a category of controls focused on network protection, not a classification based on implementation scope (common vs. system-specific).

DCommon control

A common control is entirely inherited by multiple information systems from an enterprise-wide service or infrastructure, without system-specific modifications.
