The correct answer is Running daily vulnerability scans on the information system. This activity is not specifically required by FISMA when conducting security assessments for federal information systems.

FISMA and the supporting NIST risk management framework require agencies to plan and perform security assessments and to maintain ongoing vulnerability management programs. Agencies determine the frequency and operational details of scanning based on risk tolerance system criticality and agency policy rather than a universal requirement to run scans every day.

Evaluating the implemented security controls in accordance with the assessment plan is incorrect because evaluation of implemented controls against a defined assessment plan is a fundamental part of the assessment process and is required by the RMF and assessment guidance.

Producing a plan of action and milestones based on assessment findings is incorrect because FISMA requires agencies to document weaknesses and track remediation through plans of action and milestones.

Creating a security assessment plan that defines the scope objectives and methodology is incorrect because establishing a security assessment plan is a required deliverable to ensure assessments are scoped properly and executed consistently.
