ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

During a quarterly tabletop exercise, a financial-services company that runs its production workloads in two AWS Regions reviews its disaster-recovery playbook. Participants discover that if privileged IAM roles are ever deleted or become unusable during an incident, the response team would lose the ability to administer the affected AWS accounts. Which update to the playbook would BEST mitigate this gap while aligning with AWS security best practices?

  • Embed the AWS root user's long-term access key and secret access key in the playbook so they are available even if IAM roles fail.

  • Add instructions to create a new AWS account and migrate production resources there if existing IAM roles become unusable.

  • Include a break-glass procedure that stores a hardware MFA token for the AWS root user in a sealed, audited safe and lists the custodians authorized to retrieve it.

  • Enable password-based SSH access on all EC2 instances and record the shared emergency password in the playbook for use during incidents.
