ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

You are the first responder to a suspected data-exfiltration incident on a powered-on Windows file server in the company's data center. Digital evidence may later be needed in court, so you must follow accepted evidence-handling procedures. According to NIST guidance, which initial action should you perform before interacting with the system?

  • Open a chain-of-custody log and record the date, time, location, and your identity.

  • Pull the network cable to stop data exfiltration, then photograph the server connections.

  • Install vendor patches to close the suspected vulnerability before evidence is collected.

  • Create a forensic disk image of all attached drives using a hardware write-blocker.
