ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your company is deploying a new web-based analytics tool on AWS. Employees already sign in through the corporate identity provider that supports SAML 2.0. External auditors from a partner firm must also access the application using their own SAML IdP. The security team wants to avoid creating individual IAM users for auditors and still enforce least-privilege, auditable access. Which solution BEST meets these requirements?

  • Generate long-term IAM access keys in your account and share them with the auditors, restricting their actions through an attached IAM policy.

  • Enable AWS IAM Identity Center and use SCIM to provision individual AWS users for each auditor, assigning them to a group with the needed permissions.

  • Create dedicated cross-account IAM users for the auditors and distribute console passwords, enforcing password rotation every 30 days.

  • Create an IAM SAML identity provider with the partner's metadata and define a role granting only the required permissions; allow auditors to assume that role via SAML federation.
