ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

A financial services firm is retiring a legacy reporting platform that contains transaction records subject to a 7-year regulatory retention requirement. The data must remain immutable and auditable, yet it must not be easily returned to production use. Which data disposition strategy BEST meets these goals?

  • Leave the database online in read-only mode on a segregated subnet to allow auditors to query it when needed.

  • Export the records to tamper-resistant WORM media in an offline cold archive, apply strict access controls, and record the 7-year retention schedule.

  • Compress the data files and place them on the organization's shared file server with read-only permissions.

  • Shred the encryption keys for the database, then physically destroy all storage drives associated with the application.
