CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 346
An organization adds an MSSP to supplement its security monitoring operations during weekends and holidays. Which of the following would best demonstrate procurement value to the Chief Information Security Officer?
Answer options
- A. Stakeholder validation metrics
- B. Mean time to respond
- C. Alert volume
- D. Number of escalations per week
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer, B, Mean time to respond, is crucial as it indicates how quickly the MSSP can react to security incidents, reflecting the efficiency of the service. While A, C, and D provide useful insights into performance, they do not directly measure the impact of timely responses on security outcomes.
