A. B. C. D.A.
The Security Control Assessment (SCA) is a critical activity in information system security engineering, which is performed to evaluate the effectiveness of security controls implemented in the information system. The SCA is typically performed in four tasks that include:
- Security Control Assessment Task 1: Planning and Preparation
- Security Control Assessment Task 2: Security Control Testing
- Security Control Assessment Task 3: Vulnerability Assessment
- Security Control Assessment Task 4: Security Control Validation
Out of these four tasks, the Security Control Assessment Task 2 (Security Control Testing) evaluates the operational, technical, and management security controls of the information system using the techniques and measures selected or developed. This task involves performing the actual testing of security controls to determine if they are operating as intended and providing the level of protection required to mitigate identified risks.
During the Security Control Testing, the assessment team will use various techniques and measures to evaluate the effectiveness of the security controls. This may include conducting vulnerability scans, penetration testing, and other forms of testing to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the system's security controls. The team will also evaluate the operational, technical, and management controls to ensure they are adequate to address the identified risks.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option D, Security Control Assessment Task 2.
