ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your company runs multiple AWS accounts under AWS Organizations. The security team aims to remove standing administrator rights yet let on-call engineers get temporary full access during emergencies. Requirements: no long-lived access keys on engineer identities, a 60-minute maximum elevation session, and centralized auditing of every elevation event without additional infrastructure. Which solution best meets these goals?

  • Create an IAM user called EmergencyAdmin in every account, attach AdministratorAccess, and mandate MFA for console sign-in.

  • Create an IAM role with AdministratorAccess, set its maximum session duration to 1 hour, require MFA for AssumeRole, and rely on AWS CloudTrail for logging.

  • Store a shared set of Administrator access keys in AWS Secrets Manager; grant engineers read access to the secret only when on call.

  • Enable CloudTrail in all accounts and schedule an AWS Lambda function to attach and remove AdministratorAccess to engineer IAM users on demand.
