Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) — Question 407

Which of the following outsourcing agreement provisions has the HIGHEST priority from a security operations perspective?

Answer options

• A. Conditions to prevent the use of subcontractors
• B. Terms for contract renegotiation in case of disaster
• C. Root cause analysis for application performance issue
• D. Escalation process for problem resolution during incidents

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The escalation process for problem resolution during incidents is crucial because it ensures that security issues are addressed promptly and effectively, minimizing potential damage. While the other options are important, they do not directly focus on the immediate resolution of security incidents, making them less of a priority in urgent situations.
