Question 70

A food distributor has not identified which supplier integrations it needs to fulfill time-sensitive orders after a site outage. A designer proposes: Prioritize recovery by server purchase price rather than effect on food-delivery commitments. What is the MOST significant security deficiency in this proposal?

  1. An engineering team cannot quietly expand accepted downtime beyond approved business needs.
  2. Concentration in a single provider changes external continuity controls.
  3. A recovery plan must be judged against business-approved RTO instead of assumed infrastructure capability.
  4. Hardware cost is not a valid proxy for process criticality or operational loss.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Hardware cost is not a valid proxy for process criticality or operational loss. This is the direct weakness in the proposed action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is a limitation elsewhere: A payment company records an RTO of two hours for clearing payments but a recovery design can restore only after eight hours. It does not explain the deficiency of the specified proposed approach.

B:

This explains a later shift in requirements (Its sole refrigeration telemetry vendor later announces loss of a regional service.), not the failure of the current proposal.

C:

This is an advantage of another design (Escalate the gap and select a feasible tested recovery strategy tied to approved business tolerance.), not the particular flaw of Prioritize recovery by server purchase price rather than effect on food-delivery commitments.

Question 71

A food distributor has not identified which supplier integrations it needs to fulfill time-sensitive orders after a site outage. The organization has now implemented this response: Map critical services, recovery time objectives and upstream/downstream dependencies in a business impact analysis. Which observation would MOST directly demonstrate that the security objective was met?

  1. A timed exercise demonstrates restoration and transaction reconciliation inside the two-hour target.
  2. A risk register records scenario assumptions, impact dimensions, likelihood bands and review dates.
  3. An approved change ticket for Map critical services, recovery time objectives and upstream/downstream dependencies in a business impact analysis. without a completed verification result.
  4. A signed dependency map shows the order flow, owners, maximum outage and validated restoration priorities.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A signed dependency map shows the order flow, owners, maximum outage and validated restoration priorities. This validates that dependency mapping avoids restoring systems that cannot deliver business value without partners.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This demonstrates controls in another circumstance: A payment company records an RTO of two hours for clearing payments but a recovery design can restore only after eight hours.

B:

This other observation is relevant to: A manufacturing risk assessment scores every scenario 'high' but lacks likelihood assumptions and cannot prioritize investment.

C:

An approved change without an executed test cannot prove operating effectiveness. The needed evidence is A signed dependency map shows the order flow, owners, maximum outage and validated restoration priorities.

Question 72

A previous security situation was: A food distributor has not identified which supplier integrations it needs to fulfill time-sensitive orders after a site outage. Now the requirement changes: Its sole refrigeration telemetry vendor later announces loss of a regional service. Which NEW action BEST answers the changed need?

  1. Map critical services, recovery time objectives and upstream/downstream dependencies in a business impact analysis.
  2. Prioritize recovery by server purchase price rather than effect on food-delivery commitments.
  3. A signed dependency map shows the order flow, owners, maximum outage and validated restoration priorities.
  4. Create a contingency arrangement and test fallback communications with that supplier.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Concentration in a single provider changes external continuity controls. The revised action is Create a contingency arrangement and test fallback communications with that supplier.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is the appropriate response to the original situation: Dependency mapping avoids restoring systems that cannot deliver business value without partners. It does not directly meet the new condition.

B:

This remains inappropriate: Hardware cost is not a valid proxy for process criticality or operational loss.

C:

This is a record of how the initial safeguard would be checked, not an action implementing the newly requested condition: A signed dependency map shows the order flow, owners, maximum outage and validated restoration priorities.

Question 73

A payment company records an RTO of two hours for clearing payments but a recovery design can restore only after eight hours. What should the security manager recommend as the MOST appropriate response to the current requirement?

  1. Add replication and data consistency tests that establish the specified RPO.
  2. Map critical services, recovery time objectives and upstream/downstream dependencies in a business impact analysis.
  3. Escalate the gap and select a feasible tested recovery strategy tied to approved business tolerance.
  4. Redefine the business RTO as eight hours without process-owner agreement.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A recovery plan must be judged against business-approved RTO instead of assumed infrastructure capability.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is appropriate for a later condition (The same process also requires loss of no more than five minutes of transactions.), but it does not directly resolve the initial need. Recovery time and allowable data loss are distinct requirements requiring separate evidence.

B:

This response addresses a different condition: A food distributor has not identified which supplier integrations it needs to fulfill time-sensitive orders after a site outage. The present case requires the measure described by Escalate the gap and select a feasible tested recovery strategy tied to approved business tolerance.

D:

An engineering team cannot quietly expand accepted downtime beyond approved business needs. The proposal would not be defensible for this case.

Question 74

A payment company records an RTO of two hours for clearing payments but a recovery design can restore only after eight hours. A designer proposes: Redefine the business RTO as eight hours without process-owner agreement. What is the MOST significant security deficiency in this proposal?

  1. Recovery time and allowable data loss are distinct requirements requiring separate evidence.
  2. Dependency mapping avoids restoring systems that cannot deliver business value without partners.
  3. An engineering team cannot quietly expand accepted downtime beyond approved business needs.
  4. Hardware cost is not a valid proxy for process criticality or operational loss.

Explanation

Incorrect Answers

A:

B:

This is an advantage of another design (Map critical services, recovery time objectives and upstream/downstream dependencies in a business impact analysis.), not the particular flaw of Redefine the business RTO as eight hours without process-owner agreement.

D:

This is a limitation elsewhere: A food distributor has not identified which supplier integrations it needs to fulfill time-sensitive orders after a site outage. It does not explain the deficiency of the specified proposed approach.

Question 75

A payment company records an RTO of two hours for clearing payments but a recovery design can restore only after eight hours. The team must implement a defensible safeguard AND demonstrate that it works. Which TWO entries form that control-and-evidence pair? (Select TWO.)

  1. A timed exercise demonstrates restoration and transaction reconciliation inside the two-hour target.
  2. Redefine the business RTO as eight hours without process-owner agreement.
  3. Add replication and data consistency tests that establish the specified RPO.
  4. Map critical services, recovery time objectives and upstream/downstream dependencies in a business impact analysis.
  5. Escalate the gap and select a feasible tested recovery strategy tied to approved business tolerance.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct verification. The specific evidence is: A timed exercise demonstrates restoration and transaction reconciliation inside the two-hour target.

E:

Correct control. A recovery plan must be judged against business-approved RTO instead of assumed infrastructure capability.

Incorrect Answers

B:

An engineering team cannot quietly expand accepted downtime beyond approved business needs.

C:

This concerns a later and different need: The same process also requires loss of no more than five minutes of transactions. Recovery time and allowable data loss are distinct requirements requiring separate evidence.

D:

The proposed control fits another scenario: A food distributor has not identified which supplier integrations it needs to fulfill time-sensitive orders after a site outage. It does not directly address this scenario's primary requirement.

Question 76

A previous security situation was: A payment company records an RTO of two hours for clearing payments but a recovery design can restore only after eight hours. Now the requirement changes: The same process also requires loss of no more than five minutes of transactions. Which NEW action BEST answers the changed need?

  1. Redefine the business RTO as eight hours without process-owner agreement.
  2. A timed exercise demonstrates restoration and transaction reconciliation inside the two-hour target.
  3. Add replication and data consistency tests that establish the specified RPO.
  4. Escalate the gap and select a feasible tested recovery strategy tied to approved business tolerance.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Recovery time and allowable data loss are distinct requirements requiring separate evidence. The revised action is Add replication and data consistency tests that establish the specified RPO.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This remains inappropriate: An engineering team cannot quietly expand accepted downtime beyond approved business needs.

B:

This is a record of how the initial safeguard would be checked, not an action implementing the newly requested condition: A timed exercise demonstrates restoration and transaction reconciliation inside the two-hour target.

D:

This is the appropriate response to the original situation: A recovery plan must be judged against business-approved RTO instead of assumed infrastructure capability. It does not directly meet the new condition.

Question 77

An organization hires privileged cloud engineers through a contractor without documenting acceptable background checks or nondisclosure terms. What should the security manager recommend as the MOST appropriate response to the current requirement?

  1. Replace shared persistent access with individually accountable just-in-time privileged access and offboarding.
  2. Apply lawful role-proportionate screening and signed confidentiality/access commitments before privileges are issued.
  3. Grant production administrator access on the contractor's first day before identity verification.
  4. Reassess entitlements and remove administrative privileges in the mover workflow.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Sensitive roles need due diligence and explicit obligations consistent with applicable employment law.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This response addresses a different condition: A supplier technician retains a shared service account after maintenance work ends on hospital devices. The present case requires the measure described by Apply lawful role-proportionate screening and signed confidentiality/access commitments before privileges are issued.

C:

Premature privilege issuance exposes systems before trust and contract controls are established.

D:

This is appropriate for a later condition (The contractor switches to a role with no operational access requirement.), but it does not directly resolve the initial need. Role change alters least-privilege access even if employment continues.

Question 78

An organization hires privileged cloud engineers through a contractor without documenting acceptable background checks or nondisclosure terms. A designer proposes: Grant production administrator access on the contractor's first day before identity verification. What is the MOST significant security deficiency in this proposal?

  1. Personnel security depends on timely identity and facility access changes across systems.
  2. Premature privilege issuance exposes systems before trust and contract controls are established.
  3. Periodic review cannot replace immediate revocation on a known departure.
  4. Role change alters least-privilege access even if employment continues.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Premature privilege issuance exposes systems before trust and contract controls are established.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is an advantage of another design (Integrate authoritative HR termination events with prompt logical and physical access revocation.), not the particular flaw of Grant production administrator access on the contractor's first day before identity verification.

C:

This is a limitation elsewhere: An HR offboarding feed arrives two days after employees leave, leaving active sessions and badges valid. It does not explain the deficiency of the specified proposed approach.

D:

This explains a later shift in requirements (The contractor switches to a role with no operational access requirement.), not the failure of the current proposal.

Question 79

An organization hires privileged cloud engineers through a contractor without documenting acceptable background checks or nondisclosure terms. The organization has now implemented this response: Apply lawful role-proportionate screening and signed confidentiality/access commitments before privileges are issued. Which observation would MOST directly demonstrate that the security objective was met?

  1. An approved change ticket for Apply lawful role-proportionate screening and signed confidentiality/access commitments before privileges are issued. without a completed verification result.
  2. Identity, screening authorization, agreement and approval records precede privileged access activation.
  3. Access logs link named technician approvals, bounded sessions and removal of supplier rights.
  4. Termination drills show bounded time to disable identity, tokens, badges and remote credentials.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Identity, screening authorization, agreement and approval records precede privileged access activation. This validates that sensitive roles need due diligence and explicit obligations consistent with applicable employment law.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An approved change without an executed test cannot prove operating effectiveness. The needed evidence is Identity, screening authorization, agreement and approval records precede privileged access activation.

C:

This demonstrates controls in another circumstance: A supplier technician retains a shared service account after maintenance work ends on hospital devices.

D:

This other observation is relevant to: An HR offboarding feed arrives two days after employees leave, leaving active sessions and badges valid.

Question 80

A previous security situation was: An organization hires privileged cloud engineers through a contractor without documenting acceptable background checks or nondisclosure terms. Now the requirement changes: The contractor switches to a role with no operational access requirement. Which NEW action BEST answers the changed need?

  1. Identity, screening authorization, agreement and approval records precede privileged access activation.
  2. Reassess entitlements and remove administrative privileges in the mover workflow.
  3. Apply lawful role-proportionate screening and signed confidentiality/access commitments before privileges are issued.
  4. Grant production administrator access on the contractor's first day before identity verification.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Role change alters least-privilege access even if employment continues. The revised action is Reassess entitlements and remove administrative privileges in the mover workflow.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This is a record of how the initial safeguard would be checked, not an action implementing the newly requested condition: Identity, screening authorization, agreement and approval records precede privileged access activation.

C:

This is the appropriate response to the original situation: Sensitive roles need due diligence and explicit obligations consistent with applicable employment law. It does not directly meet the new condition.

D:
