ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
Your organization is preparing to retire a legacy billing platform. Marketing asks that all invoice data be deleted immediately to save storage costs, but the finance team reminds you that tax regulations require customer invoices to remain available for at least seven years after issuance. To handle data disposition correctly during decommissioning, what is the most appropriate first step?
Proceed with marketing's request and schedule secure destruction of all invoice data after validating backups.
Copy the invoices to a private archive maintained by the development team in case they are needed later.
Encrypt the invoice files and immediately destroy the encryption keys so the data cannot be read.
Review the organization's retention schedule and governing regulations, then record a seven-year archive requirement in the decommissioning plan.
Before any data is destroyed, the decommissioning team must identify and document the minimum retention period mandated by laws, regulations, and internal policy. Consulting the corporate data-retention schedule and applicable statutory requirements allows the team to update the decommissioning plan so that invoice records are securely archived for no less than seven years. Deleting them right away, encrypting and throwing away the keys, or informally storing them elsewhere would all violate legal retention obligations and expose the organization to compliance risk.
