ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
A development team is integrating a third-party SaaS CRM. The master services agreement specifies a 99.9 % availability service-level agreement and obligates the provider to notify the customer of any security breach within 48 hours. When analysing compliance, how should these clauses be handled in the project's security requirements baseline?
View them only as non-binding recommendations since they are not statutory law.
Document them as legal compliance requirements and map them in the security requirement traceability matrix.
Disregard them once internal security testing shows the code is secure, because uptime is purely operational.
Treat them as functional security requirements that belong solely in user stories during sprint planning.
Contractual clauses and SLAs are considered legal sources of compliance requirements. Because they are binding terms of the agreement, each obligation-such as minimum uptime or breach-notification timeframes-must be captured as a security requirement, traced through design, implementation, and testing. Treating them as merely best practice, ignoring them after internal testing, or mis-classifying them as functional user stories risks non-compliance with the contract and potential legal exposure.
