Summary

This chapter represented a miniature version of the CISSP test and should have given you an idea of where your strengths and weaknesses are. The questions matched the domain weights specified in the exam outline, just at a smaller scale. Keep in mind that it would be impossible to truly test your knowledge of the exam outline without a pre-assessment test with a thousand questions. So, even if you got the answers right—or you guessed and got the answers right—you should still read the chapters that cover that domain.

The next chapter will start covering the material in Domain 1, including professional ethics, foundational security concepts, and governance principles.
