CompTIA Data+ DA0-002 (V2) Practice Question

During routine monitoring, a data analyst observes a surge of suspicious SQL queries from an external address targeting the company's production database that stores customer PII. The organization's incident-response procedure is based on NIST SP 800-61/800-171 guidance. Which action should the analyst take first to satisfy security‐incident reporting requirements and preserve evidence?

  • Notify the designated incident-response contact immediately with a timestamp, affected system details, and preliminary indicators.

  • Apply emergency patches to the database server to close the suspected vulnerability before telling anyone.

  • Shut down the database server and delete temporary files that may contain traces of the attack.

  • Wait for the forensics team to confirm data exfiltration, then report the event in the next change-control meeting.
