CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 556

Which of the following most accurately describes the order in which a security engineer should implement secure baselines?

Answer options

• A. Deploy, maintain, establish
• B. Establish, maintain, deploy
• C. Establish, deploy, maintain
• D. Deploy, establish, maintain

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because secure baselines should first be established to define security measures, then deployed to the environment, and finally maintained to ensure ongoing compliance and effectiveness. The other options misplace the order of these steps, which can lead to ineffective security implementations.
