Which activity is commonly aligned with a 30-day remediation plan in time-based standards?

• A. Implementing identified corrective actions after an incident
• B. Scheduling a comprehensive risk assessment
• C. Completing a full system replacement
• D. Conducting a post-mortem meeting

Answer: (A)

Time-based remediation plans require turning identified deficiencies into concrete actions within a fixed time, typically 30 days, after a finding or incident. The activity that fits this window is implementing the corrective actions identified after an incident, because it directly translates the issue into tangible steps and a deadline to restore compliance or reduce risk. Scheduling a comprehensive risk assessment is proactive planning, not a remediation action tied to a 30-day window. Completing a full system replacement is usually a larger, longer-term change, not a standard 30-day remediation step. Conducting a post-mortem meeting focuses on analysis and lessons learned, not the immediate corrective actions to be implemented within the 30 days.
