ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your company's CTO asks you, an SSCP-certified security practitioner, to design a quantum-resistant encryption module for a new payment platform. You have solid experience with conventional cryptography but no background in post-quantum algorithms. To comply with the (ISC)² Code of Ethics canon that requires you to provide diligent and competent service to your principals, what is the most appropriate first step?

  • Decline the assignment completely and ask to be reassigned to tasks that match your current skills.

  • Disclose your lack of post-quantum expertise and propose obtaining targeted training or bringing in qualified cryptographers before starting the work.

  • Assure the CTO you can handle the task based on general encryption knowledge and delegate detailed algorithm selection to junior developers.

  • Accept the project and rely on freely available tutorials to learn post-quantum techniques while you implement the solution.
