ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
A senior security engineer at a SaaS provider uncovers a critical CVSS 10.0 vulnerability in a customer-facing microservice running on Microsoft Azure. To be sure development, operations, and executive leadership fully understand the risk and act in concert, which approach best exemplifies effective risk socialization in line with sound risk-management practice?
Facilitate a cross-functional meeting to review the risk register entry, explain business impact, and assign mitigation owners.
Adjust the vulnerability scanner settings to suppress false positives and rerun the scan before taking further action.
Open a security-only ticket containing full technical details and mark it restricted to prevent information leakage.
Patch the affected microservice during the next maintenance window without notifying other teams to avoid alarming customers.
Risk socialization is the deliberate communication and discussion of identified risks with all relevant stakeholders so they grasp the potential impact and can agree on treatment steps. Convening a cross-functional session that walks through the risk register entry, clarifies business impact, and assigns mitigation responsibilities creates shared understanding and accountability-hallmarks of effective socialization. Merely tuning scanners, limiting the information to the security team, or silently patching systems may reduce technical exposure but does not spread awareness or obtain buy-in across the organization, so they do not fulfill the core purpose of risk socialization.
