ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

A senior manager privately instructs you, the organization's newly certified SSCP, to access and read an employee's personal email folder on the corporate mail server to determine whether the employee is organizing a labor union. The request is not part of an official investigation, and no written authorization, court order, or legal hold exists. To comply with the (ISC)2 Code of Ethics canons that require acting honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, and legally, what is the most appropriate first action?

  • Decline the request and immediately escalate it to the organization's legal or compliance department for proper authorization.

  • Delete the manager's email to avoid creating a record and refuse to discuss the matter further.

  • Quietly perform the search after making a personal backup of the mailbox in case the contents are later needed as evidence.

  • Comply but examine only a small sample of messages to limit the privacy breach.
