ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

You are leading the security V&V effort for a healthcare mobile app. The independent test team has completed security verification and discovered that the encryption module fails to enforce FIPS-validated ciphers. The agreed break/build criteria state any mandatory control failure halts release. What is the most appropriate next step?

  • Proceed with validation testing in parallel while development creates a hotfix to preserve the release schedule.

  • Reject the build and send it back to development for remediation before any further validation activities occur.

  • Publish the issue in the release notes and deploy the app, relying on network controls to mitigate the risk.

  • Ask the V&V team to perform a business risk assessment and approve an interim authority to operate if the risk is low.
