Hi All, I used this group heavily for my CISSP studying last year. This year I studied for the CCSP so I did not participate in the group. However, I used the https://cissp.app/ app in the last week for practice questions and the mock exam feature. It is excellent! The mock exam was the hardest and most realistic of all the practices exam I took for the CCSP. It is adaptive based on your responses and has similar style to the real exam where you can't make sense of the question or answers until rereading a few times. I highly recommend it!

An enterprise wants to deploy an insider threat detection system that uses AI to analyze employee emails, chat logs, and file activity for signs of data exfiltration or policy violations. The CISO supports the initiative but the HR director and legal counsel raise privacy concerns. What is the MOST appropriate action to take BEFORE implementing this system? A. Inform employees of the monitoring program and require them to acknowledge acceptable use policies. B. Obtain board approval and implement the system with limited data retention. C. Conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) to evaluate compliance, proportionality, and necessity. D. Restrict monitoring only to privileged users to reduce privacy exposure.

I took and passed the CISSP exam yesterday, Friday May 16th, with 17 minutes to spare! I didn't take this exam alone. I walked into the exam hall with a virtual tribe of individuals lifting me on their shoulders. Their confidence in me, dispelled all of my fears and anxiety. Sitting in front of the examination computer, the questions seemed clear to me, even if my fundamentals may have been a bit fuzzy. I would not have passed the exam without the support of this Skool platform, our CISSP Community Study Group (CSG) and the personal connections that I have made via the study groups. Here is my attempt to thank everyone. If I missed someone, please attribute it to my excitement. @Christopher Schneider for introducing me to this platform, @Rebecca Kirk for suggesting that we form a Community Study Group(CSG), @Vincent Primiani for providing the platform, @Fouad Ahmed for motivational support and lots of great documents, @Shane Symons for supporting the group, our CSG members: @Annette Corona @Timilehin Ajibade @Maurice Lightfoot @Taiye Olorundare @Stan Lyubarskiy @Tahjar R @Mario Rasathurai @Reggie Johnson, @Randy Rempel. Special thanks to @Venkat Ayyer @Babur Farooq, @Peter Marie, who passed but continue to support the CSG and @Jolian Stephens @Martín Figueroa for the late night Quantum Question reviews. There are so many more..... My main resources: Original Study Guide: Nineth and Tenth Editions (Wiley Test Bank too)

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask those who have recently taken the exam and submitted their endorsement application: how long did it typically take for you to your application approved?

I have provisionally passed my CISSP exam. I would say the thing that helped me most was getting my Security +1st. After that, I studied for a month and a half and took the test. All I did was use the OSG and take practice tests. LearnZ was helpful as well. The test was pretty difficult for me, because I experienced questions that had content I've never seen before so I just made educated guesses. I actually thought I failed when the test cut off at 100 lol. Needless to say, I was very surprised to find out I passed. So to anyone feeling discouraged, understand that you can do this! I have no IT or cyber security experience. I'm probably the least qualified person in this group (not joking), and I passed. I hope this encouraged to someone.
