ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

During a free pre-sales security walkthrough for a prospective customer's AWS environment, you discover one of their S3 buckets exposes payroll records to the internet. Your sales director instructs you not to alert the customer until they sign a paid remediation contract. Under the (ISC)² Code of Ethics, which response best upholds your professional obligation?

  • Comply with your director's request and wait for a signed contract, since your primary responsibility is to your employer's business interests.

  • Submit an anonymous support ticket to AWS and allow them to decide whether to contact the customer, avoiding direct disclosure yourself.

  • Quietly change the bucket permissions on behalf of the customer without informing anyone, preventing immediate harm while keeping the issue internal.

  • Notify the customer of the exposed bucket right away, even if doing so may undermine the potential contract, because safeguarding affected individuals and society is the foremost ethical duty.
