ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
Your organization is adopting an OKR approach to strengthen software security. One Objective for the next quarter reads: "Reduce high-risk vulnerabilities in customer-facing applications to improve client trust and regulatory compliance." Which of the following is the most appropriate Key Result for this Objective?
Draft an updated application security policy for executive review this quarter.
Reduce the number of open critical and high-severity vulnerabilities in production releases by 50 percent by the end of the quarter.
Conduct a secure coding workshop for every development team before the quarter ends.
Deploy a new static application security testing (SAST) tool across all development projects.
In the OKR framework, a Key Result must be outcome-oriented, specific, measurable, and time-bound, directly indicating progress toward the Objective. Cutting the number of open critical and high-severity vulnerabilities in production by 50 percent by quarter end satisfies all these criteria and clearly tracks improvement in the targeted risk area. Deploying a SAST tool, holding training, or drafting a policy are valuable activities, but they describe outputs or tasks rather than measurable security outcomes, and therefore do not constitute effective Key Results for this Objective.
