ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

While finalizing a contract for a proprietary analytics engine, the security architect worries that the small vendor could be acquired or go out of business, leaving the organization unable to patch future security vulnerabilities. Which contractual mechanism best ensures the organization can obtain the source code under such trigger events and legally continue maintenance?

  • Add a twelve-month warranty clause requiring the vendor to correct any defects discovered during that period.

  • Negotiate a service-level agreement that mandates patch delivery within a defined time frame.

  • Insert a limitation-of-liability clause capping the vendor's damages at the value of the license fees paid.

  • Include a source code escrow agreement that releases the code if the vendor fails to meet support obligations.
