ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
An SSCP serving as the cloud change manager receives a request to add a new cross-account bucket policy to an existing Amazon S3 bucket that stores customer purchase records. Prior to approving the RFC, the SSCP must conduct the security impact analysis. Which action will provide the MOST relevant information for this analysis?
Estimate additional monthly storage and data-transfer charges with AWS Pricing Calculator to confirm budget impact.
Apply new cost-allocation and owner tags to the bucket to ensure accurate reporting in inventory exports.
Perform load testing with CloudWatch metrics to verify object retrieval latency after the policy change.
Use IAM Access Analyzer to simulate the proposed bucket policy and list any external principals that would receive access, then review the results against the bucket's classification.
Running IAM Access Analyzer shows exactly which external AWS principals would gain access if the new bucket policy is applied, allowing the SSCP to compare the resulting access with the bucket's data classification and least-privilege requirements. Performance testing, cost estimates, and tagging may be useful for other evaluations, but they do not directly reveal the security implications of expanded cross-account access, making them less pertinent to the impact analysis.
