ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

A code review identifies a SQL injection flaw in a legacy payroll portal. Re-engineering the affected module would delay the release schedule, so the team immediately deploys a web application firewall rule that filters injection patterns and restricts access to the portal until it can be rewritten in the next development cycle. Which risk-treatment strategy are they applying?

  • Remediate the risk by permanently fixing the vulnerable code now

  • Transfer the risk to a third party through cyber-insurance

  • Accept the risk and proceed without additional safeguards

  • Mitigate the risk by implementing a compensating control
