ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
During a walk-through of a newly built on-premises data center, a security practitioner notices that temperature and humidity sensors, pre-action dry-pipe sprinklers, and diesel generators are already in place. To further protect equipment from damage caused by sudden electrostatic discharge (ESD), which additional environmental control should the practitioner recommend implementing?
Deploy additional online double-conversion uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
Install grounded anti-static raised flooring across all server rows.
Add hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment panels to improve airflow segregation.
Upgrade the dry-pipe system to high-pressure water-mist fire suppression.
Electrostatic discharge is mitigated by providing a continuous grounding path that dissipates static buildup before it can arc to sensitive components. Installing grounded, anti-static raised flooring (sometimes called ESD flooring) throughout the data hall accomplishes this by using conductive materials bonded to an earth ground. Hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment and supplemental in-row cooling help manage temperature but do not address static electricity. Water mist or pre-action fire suppression protects against fire, and uninterruptible power supplies maintain power quality-neither prevents ESD events.
