ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
Your company runs regulated workloads on AWS. To improve incident readiness, the security team plans a tabletop exercise simulating a cross-region ransomware attack on S3 objects. Which preparatory action is most critical to ensure the discussion stays focused, captures all viewpoints, and meets the stated learning objectives?
Distribute a pre-read of last quarter's audit report so participants discuss general control gaps.
Replace the tabletop with a live red-team engagement against the production environment.
Omit written notes and recordings to minimise legal discovery risks after the session.
Assign an impartial facilitator to guide the discussion and keep it aligned with the scenario timeline.
A tabletop exercise is a facilitated discussion, so designating an impartial facilitator is essential. The facilitator keeps the scenario on schedule, prompts participation from every role, and steers the conversation toward the predefined objectives. Pre-reads are helpful but do not ensure focus, a red-team engagement is a different test type, and avoiding documentation defeats one of the main benefits-capturing lessons learned for future improvement.
