• Information security policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines
• Professional ethics and legal regulations impacting cybersecurity

Asset Security

The Asset Security domain focuses on classifying, handling, and protecting information assets throughout their lifecycle. This topic highlights the importance of privacy, data ownership, and safeguarding sensitive information in any organization.

• Classification and handling of information assets
• Ownership, retention, and secure disposal policies
• Privacy protection, including personally identifiable information (PII)
• Data security controls, labeling, and access requirements

Security Architecture & Engineering

The Security Architecture & Engineering domain explores secure system design, cryptography, and trusted architectures. This topic provides the technical depth needed to understand vulnerabilities, countermeasures, and secure engineering principles.

• Secure design principles for hardware, software, and network components
• Cryptographic systems, protocols, and secure key management
• Security models, frameworks, and architecture evaluation
• System vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and mitigation techniques

Communication & Network Security

The Communication & Network Security domain covers the design and protection of network architectures, communication channels, and security controls. This topic emphasizes preventing, detecting, and mitigating network-based threats.

• Secure network architecture and segmentation
• Protocols, encryption, and secure communication channels
• Threat modeling, network attacks, and countermeasures
• Firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs, and network monitoring

Identity & Access Management (IAM)

The Identity & Access Management domain introduces the mechanisms that control how users and systems authenticate, authorize, and access resources. This topic ensures strong identity governance and protection against unauthorized access.

• Authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) principles
• Single sign-on (SSO), federated identity management (FIM), and just-in-time access
• Privilege management and role-based access control (RBAC)
• Credential lifecycle, account provisioning, and deprovisioning

Security Assessment & Testing

The Security Assessment & Testing domain focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of security controls through audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing. This topic reinforces the importance of continuous validation and improvement.

• Vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and ethical hacking
• Security audits, control testing, and compliance checks
• Analyzing test results, reporting, and remediation recommendations
• Security process monitoring, metrics, and coverage analysis

Security Operations

The Security Operations domain addresses incident response, monitoring, and ongoing operational security activities. This topic ensures organizations maintain resilience through detection, containment, and recovery processes.

• Incident management lifecycle: detection, response, recovery, and lessons learned
• Monitoring, logging, and operational security controls
• Physical security, personnel safety, and environmental controls
• Patch, vulnerability, and change management; backup and recovery strategies
• Business continuity and disaster recovery testing

Software Development Security

The Software Development Security domain covers secure coding practices, SDLC integration, and application-level risk mitigation. This topic ensures that security is built into software from design through deployment and maintenance.

• Secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices
• Application security controls, code review, and testing
• Threat modeling for software applications
• Secure deployment, maintenance, and vulnerability mitigation

Our CISSP practice test includes multiple-choice questions that span every domain and knowledge point, providing a thorough review of essential concepts while reinforcing practical understanding. This ensures candidates gain the confidence and competence needed to excel on the CISSP exam.
