ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
During contract negotiations for a critical third-party software component, your organization insists on a clause that will let it independently confirm that the supplier continues to follow agreed secure development practices after the contract is signed. Which contractual language best satisfies this requirement?
The supplier must deposit current source code with a neutral escrow agent to be released if the supplier declares bankruptcy.
The supplier must notify the customer within 24 hours of any security incident that could affect customer data.
The supplier is required to maintain at least USD 5 million in cyber-liability insurance coverage for security breaches.
The contract grants the customer or its appointed auditor on-site or remote access to the supplier's systems, documentation, and personnel, with reasonable notice, to verify implementation of agreed security controls.
A right-to-audit clause explicitly permits the customer (or its designated assessor) to examine the supplier's facilities, systems, processes, and records to verify that agreed security controls and secure development practices are being followed. Incident-notification terms, insurance requirements, and code-escrow provisions address other risk areas but do not give the customer the access needed to perform such verification, so they do not fulfill the right-to-audit objective.
