ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During a code-review of an analytics platform, you discover that every data analyst logs in through a single database account with read permission to all schemas. Which change would most directly apply the need-to-know aspect of least privilege for these analysts?

  • Move the production database to a read-only replica that all analysts can query, keeping the shared account.

  • Require analysts to justify access in the ticketing system but still authenticate through the common account.

  • Enable transparent data encryption on every tablespace while continuing to use the shared account for access.

  • Issue each analyst a personal account restricted to only the specific schemas they require and set the grants to expire after the project milestone.
