About the Exam
Sample Practice Questions
CISM questions are scenario-based and management-focused. These examples show the judgment-first style you need to master.
An information security manager wants business executives to actively participate in security-related decisions rather than viewing security as solely an IT responsibility. Which action would BEST accomplish this objective?
Correct: A. A steering committee involving business leadership creates a formal forum where management participates in prioritization, risk acceptance, and resource allocation. CISM questions favor structures that place security ownership with business management.
An organization is creating a manual for its computer security incident response team. Which item is MOST appropriate to include in the manual?
Correct: B. Severity classification criteria provide stable guidance for classifying incidents and determining response priority and escalation — exactly what a response manual is for. Frequently changing operational lists belong elsewhere.
