is the BEST response to this request?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The best response to the request from a former colleague for a copy of the organization's confidential incident management policy is to submit the request using company official channels to ensure the policy is okay to distribute. The incident management policy is a policy that defines the roles, responsibilities, and procedures for the identification, response, and recovery of the security incidents that may affect the organization. The incident management policy is a confidential document that contains sensitive information and data, and that should be protected from unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification. Submitting the request using company official channels can help to ensure the policy is okay to distribute, as it can verify the legitimacy and validity of the request, and the authorization and clearance of the requester.Submitting the request using company official channels can also help to comply with the security policies and standards, and the legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements of the organization, and to prevent or mitigate any potential security risks or issues that may arise from the distribution of the policy34.Reference:CISSP CBK, Fifth Edition, Chapter 7, page 629;2024 Pass4itsure CISSP Dumps, Question 17.

Absolutely not! Sharing confidential information with a former employee is a big no-no. That policy is for internal use only.

I would not share the confidential incident management policy with a former employee. That would be a breach of trust and could put the organization at risk.

I studied something similar where the response involved explaining the confidentiality of the document. I think we should definitely avoid sharing it directly.

I remember a practice question about sharing sensitive information, and it emphasized the importance of protecting company policies. I think we should refer the colleague to HR instead.

I think the best response would be to deny the request since it's confidential, but I'm not entirely sure about the specific protocols for handling such situations.

I'm a bit unsure here. Is there any way we could redact or summarize the key points without sharing the full policy? Might be worth exploring that option.

This is a no-brainer. The policy is confidential, so we can't disclose it to anyone who no longer works here. Gotta protect that sensitive information.
