CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 616

A company uses a SaaS vendor to host its customer database. The company would like to reduce the risk of customer data exposure if the systems are breached. Which of the following risks should the company focus on to achieve this objective?

Answer options

• A. Access auditing
• B. Outsourced code development
• C. Supply chain
• D. Open ports and services

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Focusing on access auditing is crucial because it allows the company to monitor who is accessing the customer data and how, thus reducing the potential for unauthorized access. The other options, while important in their own right, do not directly address the immediate concern of protecting customer data from exposure due to a breach.
