ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

A company needs to publish its internal HR web portal for remote staff. Users must log in with on-premises Active Directory accounts; the portal must never handle passwords. Security mandates a hardware OTP token as a second factor, and developers want minimal application changes. Which approach BEST meets all requirements?

  • Implement an internal user database secured with SHA-256-hashed passwords and add SMS-based OTP as a second factor.

  • Replace authentication with direct LDAPS binds to a domain controller and require complex passwords plus periodic resets.

  • Restrict access by MAC address on the remote-access VPN while continuing to use single-factor logins on the portal.

  • Configure the portal as a SAML 2.0-relying party in Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) and enable hardware token multifactor authentication on the federation server.
