CompTIA SY0-701 Sample Questions:

01. Testers at a SaaS provider report that its customer portal is being probed with crafted parameter values designed to change the database queries the portal builds. A code fix is several weeks away, and the portal's TLS sessions are already terminated at the load balancer in front of it.

Which control best addresses the exposure in the meantime?

a) A data loss prevention rule that inspects the portal servers' outbound traffic and the result sets leaving the database.

b) A next-generation firewall at the hosting perimeter, applying application awareness and IPS signatures with user identity mapped to each session.

c) Segmentation that places the database on its own network segment, reachable from the portal servers alone and only over the database protocol.

d) A web application firewall placed behind the TLS termination point to block injection patterns in the decoded request parameters.

02. A regional hospital network is buying an infusion-pump management platform. The supplier will not permit an on-site inspection but says it can provide evidence produced by an outside assessor. Procurement needs the most dependable picture of the supplier's control environment before the purchase is approved.

What should the hospital's security team do?

a) Rely on the security claims in the supplier's product datasheet describing its encryption, logging and access controls

b) Accept the supplier's completed self-assessment questionnaire as the definitive record of its control environment and file it with the purchase order

c) Obtain the supplier's independent assessor report and check its scope, dates and every exception it records

d) Ask the supplier's sales team to confirm the same commitments in writing

03. Customers of an online retailer in several countries reach a lookalike payment page when they type the storefront address. The retailer's web servers and their certificates are unchanged and their access logs show traffic falling to almost nothing, while the registrar portal records an overnight change to the domain's authoritative nameservers made through an administrator account.

Which action most directly addresses the cause?

a) Block the impostor address at the perimeter firewall and notify affected customers

b) Restore the authoritative nameserver records at the registrar and lock the domain against further changes

c) Rebuild the storefront web servers from known-good images and rotate their TLS private keys

d) Flush the cached records on the retailer's internal resolvers and shorten the time to live on its zone records

04. A logistics firm is tagging every data store in its inventory as human-readable or non-human-readable, so that reviewers responding to a leak can tell whether a person could interpret the exposed file without additional tooling. Which store belongs in the non-human-readable category?

a) A binary telemetry stream written by the fleet's onboard sensors

b) A scanned bill of lading with recognized text embedded in the image file

c) A plain-text log of customer complaints

d) A shift roster exported as a comma-separated file of driver names and hours

05. During a two-hour outage at a SaaS provider, a coordinated set of newly created social accounts publishes fabricated screenshots claiming the provider has lost customer data, and directs customers to a recovery portal to re-enter their credentials while the incident is investigated. The accounts use the provider's logo and a near-identical handle, and the support queue fills with customers who followed the instructions.

Which threat vector does this campaign primarily represent?

a) Business email compromise of the provider's customer success mailboxes.

b) A disinformation campaign used as a threat vector.

c) A denial-of-service condition produced by the volume of inbound support requests.

d) A compromise of the provider's own corporate social media accounts and status page.

06. A university runs a simulated phishing exercise. Several staff clicked the simulated link, then deleted the message and told no one; the security team learned who had clicked only from the simulation platform's own log. The awareness lead wants the next exercise to move the behavior that matters most when a real message gets through.

Which change should the awareness lead make to the program?

a) Escalate the sophistication of the lure each quarter and keep the click rate as the program's single headline metric

b) Publish a monthly league table naming the staff who clicked and circulate it to every department head across the university

c) Add a report-suspicious-message button to the mail client and track the reporting rate alongside the click rate

d) Exempt the staff who did not click from taking part in the next quarter's exercise

07. The finance manager at a law firm receives a reply inside an existing email thread from the managing partner's real mailbox. The message carries the partner's usual signature, has no attachment and no link, asks that a client escrow transfer be sent to a different account before close of business, and asks her not to raise it with the practice group because the matter is confidential. The mail gateway logs record that the message authenticated correctly.

What should the finance manager do before the transfer is released?

a) Verify the request by telephone on a number taken from the firm's own directory before releasing the payment under the dual-approval rule.

b) Confirm that the message passed SPF and DKIM checks, review the gateway's authentication log, and release the transfer on that basis, because the sending domain is authentic.

c) Forward the message to the spam quarantine and block the sender at the mail gateway.

d) Reply to the thread and ask the managing partner to confirm the new account details and the urgency.

08. A specialty alloy manufacturer keeps the formulation for its highest-margin product on an internal wiki available to a dozen metallurgists. The company has never filed a patent on the formulation and has never published it; the only thing keeping competitors from using it is that nobody outside the team has seen it.

Which data classification best fits the formulation?

a) Financial information, since the formulation's value is carried on the balance sheet

b) Regulated data, since a statutory authority prescribes how it must be handled

c) Intellectual property, since protection comes from registering and publishing it

d) Trade secret, since its protection depends entirely on non-disclosure

09. A vulnerability report at a regional logistics firm lists each finding with a CVE identifier and, next to it, a CVSS base score. A newly hired analyst asks why one finding needs two different values. Which explanation is accurate?

a) The CVE identifier applies to the affected product, while the CVSS score applies to the vendor's record of secure development

b) The CVE identifier names the specific flaw; the CVSS score rates its severity

c) The CVE identifier is issued once a fix is published, while the CVSS score is issued when the flaw is first disclosed

d) The CVE identifier records the severity the vendor assigned; the CVSS score records the severity the scanner measured on this host

10. A credit union hires a fully remote loan officer who will never visit a branch. Before the service desk creates her accounts, HR has her present government-issued identification during a supervised video session and checks the details against the signed employment record.

What does this step accomplish in the provisioning process?

a) It binds the digital identity being created to a verified real person, so that later authentication proves who is actually behind the account.

b) It confirms that the account's first password reached the new hire over a channel separate from her user name.

c) It demonstrates that the new hire can satisfy a second authentication factor, so the enrolled credential can be trusted the first time she signs in from home.

d) It records the manager's approval of the entitlements attached to the account, which is the same decision that a periodic access review re-examines for every account in the branch.
