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.
Omit written notes and recordings to minimise legal discovery risks after the session.
Replace the tabletop with a live red-team engagement against the production environment.
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.
