ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your organization is rolling out a configuration management program for 100 mixed-OS application servers hosted on-premises and in the cloud. Security policy mandates that every server be compared continuously with an approved baseline, any unauthorized deviation be reported automatically, and that successive baseline versions be preserved for audit. Which of the following solutions BEST satisfies these requirements while imposing minimal ongoing administrative effort?

  • Have system administrators manually record every change in a spreadsheet that is reviewed during monthly configuration audits.

  • Implement a version-controlled configuration management database and deploy automated host agents that continuously compare each server's configuration to the stored baseline and alert on drift.

  • Perform weekly full-image backups to an off-site repository and redeploy any server whose configuration differs from the most recent image.

  • Enable centralized log forwarding to a SIEM and create correlation rules to flag unusual events in operating system logs.
