ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

Which of the following approaches provides the BEST basis for prioritizing remediation of vulnerabilities discovered during a security assessment?

  • Combine technical severity with asset criticality, exposure, business impact, exploit likelihood, and existing controls to create a risk-based ranking.

  • Address vulnerabilities in the order they were reported by the scanning tool.

  • Prioritize vulnerabilities strictly by their numerical severity rating (e.g., CVSS score) produced by automated scanners.

  • Remediate only the vulnerabilities that external auditors flag as non-compliant.
