CISSP Practice Question (Domain 1: Security and Risk Management)
An organization deploys an AI system that recommends layoffs and budget cuts based on financial and productivity data. Executives approve its use but do not fully understand its decision logic. The recommendations align with profits but raise ethical and reputational concerns internally. What is the MOST appropriate action for the security leader? A. Require human review of all AI-generated workforce decisions B. Document the risk acceptance and ethical considerations in governance records C. Suspend the AI system until explainability requirements are met D. Conduct a privacy impact assessment focused on employee data Come back for the answer tomorrow, or study more now!

B looks like a good start; As a risk adviser, you should document the risk of exposing your organization to reputational/legal hazards. A. Definitely something to consider after documenting the risk; Also, the decisions are to be made by executive management on your recommendation. C. Going against the wishes of the business D. Not a question about employee data security

CISSP Practice Question (Domain 2: Asset Security)
An organization allows multiple business units to deploy their own AI agents using shared enterprise data lakes. Each unit claims ownership of its AI outputs, while data sources remain centrally managed. A dispute arises after an AI-generated report exposes sensitive correlations between departments. What is the MOST appropriate action to take FIRST? A. Reclassify the AI-generated outputs under the highest data sensitivity level B. Clarify and formally assign data ownership and stewardship for AI-derived assets C. Segregate AI workloads by business unit to prevent cross-correlation D. Implement stronger access controls on the shared data lake Come back for the answer tomorrow, or study more now!

Yup, B looks good. A. Not about the AI output - more about data input access C. Not about execution D. Not about access controls
Battled the beast and won!
Took my exam yesterday and it cut me off after the 100 question mark. I filled up the endorsement form and the waiting game begins. Special thanks to @Vincent Primiani for building such a supportive, encouraging community. More details: Exam prep: Materials (most helpful to least helpful): Kelly Handerhan CISSP audio, Pete Zerger's exam cram, Destination cert videos on youtube, clarification of concepts and application on ChatGPT, Prabh Nair coffee shots, Destination cert book, Sybex CISSP prep book. I learn well on videos (visually) and brief explanations - don't judge me on the books being last on the prep. Questions (only free stuff): Destination cert app, Learnzapp app, Andrew Ramdayal 50 hard cissp questions, Daily questions from @Vincent Primiani , youtube videos from just about every channel that said "CISSP question #", ChatGPT and Gemini daily quizzes, random questions on quizlet. These help boost confidence in the material that you know but are definitely not representative of the exam questions. Also important, your prep should stop a week before your exam. You need let the information soak and become second nature when you encounter a practice question - Ex: something something HTTPS - relevant concepts: Diffie Hellman key exchange, symmetric+asymmetric, port 443, App layer security, TLS, etc. Find keywords in the question and stuff associated with it should just flow through your brain automagically. Honestly nothing can fully prepare you for the exam. The best kind of practice questions are questions that offer scenarios and give you options to pick the best/least/first/last choice. Generally all answers are correct, some are more correct than others. My exam experience was very familiar to the PMP last year at the same location and cleared it, so similar that I got assigned the same computer, lol! Although the test gives you 180 minutes, you lose about 4 minutes out the gate with the NDA and other administrative stuff. Also, bring two different IDs.

CISSP Practice Question (Domain 1: Security and Risk Management)
A business unit deploys an AI agent that autonomously negotiates vendor contracts within predefined spend limits. The agent improves efficiency but occasionally commits the company to unfavorable terms. Executives want to continue using it. What is the MOST appropriate action for the security leader? A. Disable autonomous execution and require human approval for commitments B. Update the organization’s risk register to reflect agent decision authority C. Require explainability reports for every AI-driven contract decision D. Transfer contractual risk to vendors through revised legal language Come back for the answer tomorrow, or study more now!

@Allison Regan Very true in the real world but since they say "disable autonomous execution" you handicap the agent, and consequently any efficiency gains in automation. The question clearly states - Executives want to continue using it. Security exists as a function to safely enable business. At this point, your job would be to be advise the executives of the risk of continuing to use it (record the risk in a risk register) or if you have any ability, to transfer the risk arising from unfavorable terms of the contract to the vendor (option D).

@Allison Regan A simpler way to look at this would be Don't DO stuff right away. By disabling a part of the agent's autonomy, you're acting against the interest of the executives who are more representative of the business interest (for better or worse). If you must act, it's best to do in a low impact way, in this case, would be to create a risk register entry. Now you have documentation to state that you have advised leadership of your concerns and have delivered due diligence. The accountability to exercise the results of your due diligence rests now with the executives.
