A scanner flags TLS 1.0 on a server, but the service owner says TLS 1.0 is disabled. What is the BEST validation method? For tool configuration, Which scanner or pipeline change most directly improves result quality?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Distractor review
Change the severity to informational automatically
Severity should reflect verified exposure, not disagreement.
B
Distractor review
Delete the server from the scan scope
Removing assets hides risk and breaks governance.
C
Distractor review
Close the finding because the owner disagrees
Owner statements need evidence before closure.
D
Best answer
Manually test the service with a TLS client or scanner profile that negotiates protocol versions
Direct protocol validation determines whether TLS 1.0 is actually accepted.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Manually test the service with a TLS client or scanner profile that negotiates protocol versions — Direct protocol validation determines whether TLS 1.0 is actually accepted. This ties the finding to tool configuration instead of treating scanner output as a simple checklist.
