ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
Your team must brief the CIO on the current state of application security. The CIO wants to understand risk exposure and whether remediation efforts are on track, but has limited time and technical depth. Which reporting method will best satisfy this audience?
Provide the penetration testers' packet captures and command logs for independent review.
Distribute the developers' issue-tracking tickets showing code diffs and commit hashes for each fix.
Send the full raw output from the vulnerability scanner, including every CVE, port, and plugin detail.
Present a concise executive dashboard summarizing counts of critical and high vulnerabilities, associated business impact, remediation progress, and trend against risk tolerance thresholds.
Executives typically need a concise, business-focused view of security rather than raw technical details. A high-level dashboard that rolls up the number of critical and high-severity vulnerabilities, shows their potential business impact, and tracks remediation trends against risk tolerance thresholds delivers exactly the information the CIO needs for decision-making. Raw scanner dumps, developer ticket lists, or packet-level penetration-test logs overwhelm a non-technical audience and obscure the strategic picture, so they are not appropriate for an executive briefing.
