ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
Your organization is about to publish a public bug bounty policy as part of its secure software testing strategy. To minimize unexpected service outages and legal exposure while encouraging security researcher participation, which component must be clearly defined and communicated in the program documentation before launch?
A promotional strategy detailing how each rewarded vulnerability will be publicized on social media
An internal root-cause analysis template that developers must complete after each valid finding
The minimum CVSS base score that will be assigned to accepted vulnerability reports
The list of in-scope and out-of-scope assets and the permitted testing methods for researchers
A bug bounty program should begin with an unambiguous statement of what systems, applications, and testing techniques are permitted and which are off-limits. Clear scope and rules of engagement protect the organization from disruptive testing on critical or out-of-scope assets, give researchers confidence that their activities are authorized, and form the basis for fair triage and reward decisions. While items such as post-incident templates, marketing plans, or CVSS thresholds can be valuable, they do not by themselves prevent accidental damage or legal disputes; they can be finalized or adjusted after the foundational scope is set.
