ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

A security architect at a financial services firm is developing a new enterprise-wide log retention policy. The IT operations team wants to limit retention to 90 days to control storage costs, while the legal department insists on a 7-year retention for all logs for e-discovery purposes. The security team requires at least one year of data for forensic analysis. Which of the following should be the architect's primary guiding principle when creating this policy?

  • To standardize log formats across all systems before defining any retention periods

  • To implement the IT operations team's proposal to minimize immediate operational expenses

  • To balance security monitoring needs, compliance requirements, and storage constraints

  • To prioritize the legal department's requirements to ensure maximum compliance and litigation support
