ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

While reviewing an AWS CloudTrail log shared in a team Slack channel, a security analyst notices that a teammate has hard-coded production access keys in a public Git repository. The company's information security policy states that any suspected security or policy violation must be escalated through the compliance hotline before any other action is taken. To remain consistent with the organization's code of ethics, what should the analyst do first?

  • Delete the repository to eliminate the risk, then inform the team after the fact.

  • Immediately notify the company's compliance hotline about the exposed keys and await further instructions.

  • Privately ask the teammate to remove the keys, then continue monitoring the repository for new commits.

  • Post a warning in the public Slack channel so everyone is aware of the mistake.
