CISSP Practice Question (Domain 1: Security and Risk Management)
A multinational organization is expanding into a region with strict data localization laws while maintaining its global incident response capability. The CISO must balance compliance with operational effectiveness. What is the MOST appropriate first step? A. Deploy regional SOC infrastructure to process security data locally B. Conduct a regulatory impact assessment on cross-border data flows C. Negotiate data transfer agreements with the host country's authority D. Implement encryption for all security telemetry leaving the region Come back for the answer tomorrow, or study more now!

B / Define what can and cannot be legally moved. Therefore, deploying a regional SOC is not the first step, nor is implementing encryption. These are technical implementations. We must first determine what we are and are not allowed to do according to the law; these are Governance options.

Hi everyone! I'm happy to join the group. I recently earned my CISSP certification, and I'm here for two main reasons: first, to give back and support those currently in the trenches of their study process; and second, to stay sharp and keep learning. In this field, we’re never truly done being students. My next goal on the roadmap is the CCSP, so I'm excited to keep that momentum going. The best advice I’ve ever received: "Don't just study to pass the exam; study to understand the risk." It has completely changed how I approach security challenges. Looking forward to collaborating with you all!

@Melissa Baisley Welcome. From my recient experience, the most important thing is to believe in yourself. I wrote a note by hand that said, "I am now a CISSP!" and every day when I sat down at my desk, I saw it. I created a routine and discipline: every day at 5 a.m., two hours of mind mapping, explaining things to myself, and exam practice; and at 10 p.m., an hour of review, understanding the what, how, and when to apply the concepts. That was my main action plan. You can achieve it too. PS: Peace of mind helped me because I got past question 100 and kept going without getting discouraged, since I had the insurance of having learned the lesson. But in the end, I read, "Provisionally approved."
CISSP Practice Question Domain 5 (Identity and Access Management)
An organization recently discovered that a former employee's access credentials were used to exfiltrate sensitive customer data two weeks after their termination. Which of the following controls would have been MOST effective in preventing this incident? A) Implementing multi-factor authentication for all users B) Conducting regular access reviews and timely account deprovisioning C) Deploying a data loss prevention (DLP) solution D) Encrypting all sensitive data at rest Come back for the answer tomorrow, or study more now!

PASSED!
I am happy to inform you all that I passed the CISSP exam yesterday 31 Jan 2026!!! It was a great experience. I really appreciate this platform and people on the platform that helped me in solidifying the CISSP mindset from numerous exam practices. At 100 question the test engine stopped and advised me to complete a survey!!! at that time I had 90min left on the clock!!! I really paced myself on the test!!! My advice: ALWAYS THINK LIKE A MANAGER!!! IF I CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO BETTER!!!
PASSED!
