ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

A production web application hosted on AWS is found to expose an unnecessary management port to the internet. The operations engineer submits a high-priority request to tighten the security group rules before the weekend, when attack traffic is expected to spike. According to a sound change management process, what is the MOST appropriate next step to take before implementing the change?

  • Submit an emergency Request for Change and obtain authorization from the Emergency Change Advisory Board, then proceed with the update once approved.

  • Proceed with the change without any formal approval because security fixes are exempt from change control to minimize risk.

  • Defer the update to the next scheduled quarterly maintenance window to keep changes bundled and documented together.

  • Implement the security group modification immediately and back-fill the change record after verifying success in production.
