ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
While negotiating a license agreement for a new payment-processing library, your company insists that the supplier must cover any legal fees, customer notifications, and remediation costs if exploitable code defects lead to a data breach. Which contract clause most directly establishes this obligation?
Define a service level agreement detailing uptime and response time targets.
Include an indemnification clause that assigns breach-related costs to the supplier.
Specify a warranty of merchantability covering normal product performance.
Add a limitation-of-liability clause capping the supplier's financial exposure.
An indemnification clause obligates the supplier to defend, indemnify, and hold the customer harmless from losses arising out of the supplier's product, including security breaches caused by the supplier's code. A limitation-of-liability clause does the opposite by capping or excluding damages. A warranty of merchantability only promises that the product will perform in a basic, ordinary manner, not that the vendor will pay for breach costs. An SLA typically covers service performance metrics such as availability and response times, not financial responsibility for security incidents.
