ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
While drafting penetration test cases for a new payment-processing microservice, the lead tester wants to ensure that management can quickly rank remediation efforts after the engagement. Which item should be explicitly documented in each test case to best support this goal?
The potential business impact if the exploit is successful
The specific SHA-256 hash of the container image under test
Full packet captures for every request generated during the test
Step-by-step configuration settings for the testing tool
Including the potential business impact of a successful exploit allows findings to be mapped directly to risk and business priorities. Management can then compare the severity of different vulnerabilities and allocate resources where exposure is greatest. Tool configuration details, container image hashes, and raw packet captures may aid reproduction or forensic review, but they do not convey why fixing a weakness matters or how urgently it should be addressed.
