ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

A fintech team is refactoring a payments microservice. For any transfer above $10 000, the service must verify that the caller has the SeniorApprover role before releasing funds. The architect insists this check be performed inside the service's business logic rather than through external configuration or annotations. Which implementation best exemplifies an imperative (programmatic) security control that meets the requirement?

  • Inside the transferFunds function, retrieve the caller's roles from the JWT and immediately throw an exception if "SeniorApprover" is not present before continuing processing.

  • Create a YAML access-control policy that maps the /transfers endpoint to the SeniorApprover role and load it into the organization's API gateway.

  • Apply a Kubernetes PodSecurityPolicy that prevents the payments microservice's container from running as root to limit privilege escalation.

  • Add the annotation @PreAuthorize("hasRole('SENIOR_APPROVER')") to the transferFunds method so the framework blocks unauthorized calls automatically.
