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?

A
Establish a security steering committee with business leadership participation
B
Require annual security awareness training for all employees
C
Publish detailed technical standards for infrastructure administrators
D
Schedule quarterly vulnerability scans of critical systems

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?

A
Annual enterprise risk assessment results
B
Incident severity classification criteria
C
Current employee phone directory
D
Complete inventory of all backup files

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.
