ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

Your organization is moving its on-premises HR system to a Software-as-a-Service platform. Users will authenticate through the existing enterprise identity provider with SAML 2.0 federation. Security has two requirements:

  • HR administrators must be able to create, modify, and disable any employee account.
  • All other employees must be limited to viewing and updating only their own personal records.
    Which access-control approach in the SaaS most effectively enforces least privilege while minimizing ongoing administrative effort?
  • Create one shared service account with full administrator rights and give the credentials to the HR department.

  • Implement SAML-driven attribute-based access control so the SaaS assigns permissions from user and group attributes in each login assertion.

  • Rely on single sign-on only and manually grant HR administrator rights to specific users inside the SaaS tenant.

  • Enforce multifactor authentication for all users before they access the SaaS portal.
