ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

A security consultant discovers a critical vulnerability in a client's system during an assessment. After notifying the client, they learn the client plans to delay patching for 6 months due to business priorities, despite the significant risk. According to the ISC2 Code of Professional Ethics, what is the BEST action for the consultant to take?

  • Implement patches without informing the client to safeguard against potential breaches

  • Inform other security professionals about the vulnerability to determine the appropriate response

  • Report the vulnerability to relevant regulatory authorities due to the client's decision to delay patching

  • Document the risk, offer remediation recommendations, and have management acknowledge the risk
