Question 380 A release adds sensitive admin API functionality but the change log excludes its risk analysis. What should governance require? Retain review evidence and sample adherence against defined coding standards Combine multiple assurance methods and explicit threat-focused testing Record security-impact review tied to the implemented change and approval Evaluate defect trends, root causes and preventive coding or design controls Explanation Correct Answer C:Auditability requires linking code changes to risk decisions and evidence. Incorrect Answers A:Process maturity requires observable execution rather than merely publishing guidance; it is relevant where a secure coding checklist exists but no team can demonstrate its use during review, whereas the current facts require record security-impact review tied to the implemented change and approval to address the stated problem. B:One tool's results cannot establish absence of design, configuration or logic flaws; although this helps when a SAST tool reports no findings on generated code, so a team declares the product secure, it leaves the current case's need to record security-impact review tied to the implemented change and approval unresolved. D:For the separate situation in which an application has few defects but every new release reintroduces the same category of flaw, recurrence signals a systemic process weakness rather than isolated bugs; here the stated problem requires record security-impact review tied to the implemented change and approval.
Question 381 A SAST tool reports no findings on generated code, so a team declares the product secure. What limitation should be recognized? Retest corrected weaknesses with negative and regression tests Combine multiple assurance methods and explicit threat-focused testing Retain review evidence and sample adherence against defined coding standards Review relevant independent assurance and secure-development lifecycle evidence Explanation Correct Answer B:One tool's results cannot establish absence of design, configuration or logic flaws. Incorrect Answers A:This option fits a different fact pattern where a software team tracks the number of scanner findings closed but never checks whether fixes work: closing a ticket does not prove the vulnerable behavior was eliminated; the current case instead requires combine multiple assurance methods and explicit threat-focused testing. C:The other scenario states that a secure coding checklist exists but no team can demonstrate its use during review, where process maturity requires observable execution rather than merely publishing guidance; by contrast, the present case requires combine multiple assurance methods and explicit threat-focused testing. D:This option fits a different fact pattern where a vendor reports strong software security but refuses to provide development-process evidence: claims of product safety need proportionate supporting evidence and scope; the current case instead requires combine multiple assurance methods and explicit threat-focused testing.
Question 382 A red-team exercise reveals an authorization bypass that unit tests never considered. What process change is useful? Retest corrected weaknesses with negative and regression tests Record security-impact review tied to the implemented change and approval Add abuse-case test coverage and design review for privilege boundaries Retain review evidence and sample adherence against defined coding standards Explanation Correct Answer C:Security tests should capture plausible attacker behavior, not only expected application use. Incorrect Answers A:For the separate situation in which a software team tracks the number of scanner findings closed but never checks whether fixes work, closing a ticket does not prove the vulnerable behavior was eliminated; here the stated problem requires add abuse-case test coverage and design review for privilege boundaries. B:Auditability requires linking code changes to risk decisions and evidence; it is relevant where a release adds sensitive admin API functionality but the change log excludes its risk analysis, whereas the current facts require add abuse-case test coverage and design review for privilege boundaries to address the stated problem. D:Process maturity requires observable execution rather than merely publishing guidance; it is relevant where a secure coding checklist exists but no team can demonstrate its use during review, whereas the current facts require add abuse-case test coverage and design review for privilege boundaries to address the stated problem.
Question 383 A vendor reports strong software security but refuses to provide development-process evidence. What should the purchaser request? Test detection effectiveness, drift and business-impact metrics under representative data Review relevant independent assurance and secure-development lifecycle evidence Retain review evidence and sample adherence against defined coding standards Retest corrected weaknesses with negative and regression tests Explanation Correct Answer B:Claims of product safety need proportionate supporting evidence and scope. Incorrect Answers A:This option fits a different fact pattern where a company deploys machine-learning anomaly filters but never measures false-positive impact on customers: aI-assisted controls require empirical evaluation and accountable tuning; the current case instead requires review relevant independent assurance and secure-development lifecycle evidence. C:Process maturity requires observable execution rather than merely publishing guidance; this responds to the different circumstance in which a secure coding checklist exists but no team can demonstrate its use during review, while the current case states that a vendor reports strong software security but refuses to provide development-process evidence, calling for review relevant independent assurance and secure-development lifecycle evidence. D:Closing a ticket does not prove the vulnerable behavior was eliminated; although this helps when a software team tracks the number of scanner findings closed but never checks whether fixes work, it leaves the current case's need to review relevant independent assurance and secure-development lifecycle evidence unresolved.
Question 384 An application has few defects but every new release reintroduces the same category of flaw. What should engineering analyze? Evaluate defect trends, root causes and preventive coding or design controls Add abuse-case test coverage and design review for privilege boundaries Test detection effectiveness, drift and business-impact metrics under representative data Record security-impact review tied to the implemented change and approval Explanation Correct Answer A:Recurrence signals a systemic process weakness rather than isolated bugs. Incorrect Answers B:Security tests should capture plausible attacker behavior, not only expected application use; this responds to the different circumstance in which a red-team exercise reveals an authorization bypass that unit tests never considered, while the current case states that an application has few defects but every new release reintroduces the same category of flaw, calling for evaluate defect trends, root causes and preventive coding or design controls.

Question 387 A corporation buys a billing platform without confirming whether the vendor supports encryption-key export and data deletion. What should acquisition review require? Assess security, exit capabilities and data lifecycle obligations before contract award Require justifiable least-privilege integration permissions before onboarding Confirm report scope, control exclusions and relevant service boundaries Define shared responsibility and contractual recovery commitments with supporting evidence Explanation Correct Answer A:Acquired software can create long-lived dependency and privacy risks not visible in features. Incorrect Answers B:The other scenario states that a purchased analytics tool requires global administrator access to collect only read-only metrics, where overbroad integration access increases business impact of vendor compromise; by contrast, the present case requires assess security, exit capabilities and data lifecycle obligations before contract award. C:The other scenario states that a supplier's attestation covers a different hosting product from the one being purchased, where an assurance opinion for another product cannot be assumed to cover the purchased system; by contrast, the present case requires assess security, exit capabilities and data lifecycle obligations before contract award. D:This option fits a different fact pattern where a SaaS provider cannot explain its customer-data backup and recovery obligations: outsourcing operations does not eliminate customer responsibility for continuity outcomes; the current case instead requires assess security, exit capabilities and data lifecycle obligations before contract award.
Question 388 An open-source library has a permissive license but no maintainer security response process. What should the buyer evaluate? Verify data residency, transfer obligations and actual processing locations Inventory embedded credentials, dependencies and license obligations before integration Define shared responsibility and contractual recovery commitments with supporting evidence Assess maintenance health, vulnerability history and alternative dependency options Explanation Correct Answer D:License terms do not establish ongoing security support. Incorrect Answers A:The other scenario states that an organization's acquired HR platform stores employee data in an undisclosed region, where geographic processing can create legal and contractual exposure independent of application functionality; by contrast, the present case requires assess maintenance health, vulnerability history and alternative dependency options. B:This option fits a different fact pattern where an M&A team migrates acquired code without checking for secrets or licensing restrictions: inherited software can import secrets and compliance exposure into the new environment; the current case instead requires assess maintenance health, vulnerability history and alternative dependency options. C:Outsourcing operations does not eliminate customer responsibility for continuity outcomes; this responds to the different circumstance in which a SaaS provider cannot explain its customer-data backup and recovery obligations, while the current case states that an open-source library has a permissive license but no maintainer security response process, calling for assess maintenance health, vulnerability history and alternative dependency options.
