More questions about Certified Information Security Manager

These visible examples show the question style. LearnClash turns the full topic into ranked duels and spaced repetition.

  1. 1 Easy

    Which risk treatment involves buying an insurance policy?

    Answer: Risk transfer

    Why: Insurance covers the financial loss, yet accountability stays with the organisation, and no premium buys back a damaged reputation.

  2. 2 Medium

    Which high-level document defines an organization's security goals?

    Answer: Security policy

    Why: Below it the layers differ: standards are mandatory, baselines pin down platform specific settings, and guidelines stay optional advice.

  3. 3 Hard

    What is the minimum annual CPE hour requirement to maintain CISM?

    Answer: 20 hours

    Why: The yearly floor is only half the rule: holders must also log 120 CPE hours across each three year reporting period.

  4. 4 Easy

    Which organization issues the CISM certification to security professionals?

    Answer: ISACA

    Why: ISACA was incorporated in 1969 as the EDP Auditors Association and now reports more than 48,000 holders of this credential.

  5. 5 Medium

    Who bears the ultimate responsibility for security governance?

    Answer: Board of directors

    Why: Security tasks can be handed down the chain, yet legal responsibility runs back up it by default and settles at the very top.

  6. 6 Hard

    Which metric measures the effectiveness of a security control?

    Answer: Key performance indicator

    Why: A key risk indicator, by contrast, looks ahead at rising exposure, while a KPI reports how a control has performed so far.
