ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
While drafting a master services agreement for a software component supplied by a third-party vendor, your organization must ensure the product aligns with recognized secure coding practices. Which contractual provision most directly satisfies this requirement?
Clause guaranteeing 99.9 percent service uptime and outlining service-credit penalties for downtime.
Clause mandating that security patches be made available within 48 hours of defect discovery.
Clause obligating the vendor to annually attest and furnish audit results showing compliance with an industry-recognized secure coding standard (e.g., OWASP ASVS).
Clause requiring the vendor to indemnify the customer against third-party intellectual-property infringement claims.
Requiring the vendor to provide documented evidence of compliance with an established secure coding standard, such as OWASP ASVS or an equivalent framework, explicitly ties the delivered software to measurable security criteria. Uptime guarantees, indemnification against intellectual-property claims, and rapid patch delivery are valuable clauses, but none specifically obligate the supplier to meet a defined software security standard.
