Apply easy compensating controls for critical vulnerabilities to minimize the risk, and then reprioritize remediation. B. Identify the issues that can be remediated most quickly and address them first. C. Implement the least impactful of the critical vulnerabilities' remediations first, and then address other critical vulnerabilities D.
