ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

While performing quantitative risk analysis for a new customer data portal, you determine that a potential data-breach incident would cause an estimated loss of $250,000 each time it occurs. Historical data indicate the incident is likely once every four years. A new data loss-prevention (DLP) control, costing $30,000 per year to operate, is expected to cut the likelihood to once every ten years. Based on annualized loss expectancy (ALE), what is the net annual financial impact (benefit or loss) of deploying the DLP control?

  • It results in a net annual loss of about $5,000.

  • It saves approximately $7,500 per year.

  • It saves the full $37,500 each year because the control eliminates most of the risk.

  • There is no significant change; the cost and savings balance out to zero.
