ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
Your team is documenting compliance-driven security requirements for a new online brokerage platform that must satisfy both Sarbanes-Oxley and Gramm-Leach-Bliley regulatory obligations. Which of the following requirements is MOST clearly mandated by GLBA rather than SOX?
Senior management must quarterly certify the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting captured within the system.
The application shall retain detailed transaction audit logs for at least seven years to support financial statement auditing.
Code promotions to production must require separate approval from an independent control owner to prevent unauthorized changes to financial data.
All nonpublic customer personal information must be encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-accepted algorithms.
GLBA's Safeguards Rule focuses on protecting the confidentiality and integrity of non-public customer information, so an explicit requirement to encrypt customer data addresses that obligation directly. SOX, in contrast, targets the accuracy of financial reporting and the effectiveness of internal controls; therefore, long-term audit-log retention, segregation of duties in code promotion, and periodic management certification all stem from SOX requirements rather than GLBA.
