  1. Comprehensive
  2. Significant
  3. Abbreviated
  4. Substantial

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Abbreviated interview consists of informal and ad hoc interviews. Answer D is incorrect. Substantial interview consists of informal and structured interviews. Answer A is incorrect. Comprehensive interview consists of formal and structured interviews. Answer B is incorrect. There is no such type of interview in NIST SP 800-53A.



Which of the following are the principle duties performed by the BIOS during POST (power-on-self-test)? Each correct answer represents a part of the solution. Choose all that apply.

  1. It provides a user interface for system's configuration.
  2. It identifies, organizes, and selects boot devices.
  3. It delegates control to other BIOS, if it is required.
  4. It discovers size and verifies system memory.
  5. It verifies the integrity of the BIOS code itself.
  6. It interrupts the execution of all running programs.

Answer(s): A,B,C,D,E

Explanation:

The principle duties performed by the BIOS during POST (power-on-self-test) are as follows: It verifies the integrity of the BIOS code itself. It discovers size and verifies system memory. It discovers, initializes, and catalogs all system hardware. It delegates control to other BIOS if it is required. It provides a user interface for system's configuration. It identifies, organizes, and selects boot devices. It executes the bootstrap program. Answer F is incorrect. The BIOS does not interrupt the execution of all running programs.



In which of the following architecture styles does a device receive input from connectors and generate transformed outputs?

  1. N-tiered
  2. Heterogeneous
  3. Pipes and filters
  4. Layered

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

In the pipes and filters architecture style, a device receives input from connectors and generates transformed outputs. A pipeline has a series of processing elements in which the output of each element works as an input of the next element. A little amount of buffering is provided between the two successive elements.



Fred is the project manager of the CPS project. He is working with his project team to prioritize the identified risks within the CPS project. He and the team are prioritizing risks for further analysis or action by assessing and combining the risks probability of occurrence and impact. What process is Fred completing?

  1. Risk identification
  2. Risk Breakdown Structure creation
  3. Perform qualitative analysis
  4. Perform quantitative analysis

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Qualitative ranks the probability and impact and then helps the project manager and team to determine which risks need further analysis. Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis is the process of prioritizing risks for further analysis and action. It combines risks and their probability of occurrences and ranks them accordingly. It enables organizations to improve the project's performance by focusing on high-priority risks. Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis is usually a rapid and cost-effective means of establishing priorities for Plan Risk Responses. It also lays the foundation for Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis. Answer A is incorrect. Risk identification precedes this activity. Answer B is incorrect. This process does not describe the decomposition and organization of risks that you will complete in a risk breakdown structure.
Answer D is incorrect. Quantitative analysis is the final step of risk analysis. Note the question tells you that Fred and the team will identify risks for additional analysis.



Which of the following are the levels of public or commercial data classification system? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

  1. Sensitive
  2. Private
  3. Unclassified
  4. Confidential
  5. Secret
  6. Public

Answer(s): A,B,D,F

Explanation:

The public or commercial data classification is also built upon a four-level model, which are as follows: Public Sensitive Private Confidential Each level (top to bottom) represents an increasing level of sensitivity. The public level is similar to unclassified level military classification system. This level of data should not cause any damage if disclosed. Sensitive is a higher level of classification than public level data. This level of data requires a greater level of protection to maintain confidentiality. The Private level of data is intended for company use only. Disclosure of this level of data can damage the company. The Confidential level of data is considered very sensitive and is intended for internal use only. Disclosure of this level of data can cause serious damage to the company.
Answer(s): C and E are incorrect. Unclassified and secret are the levels of military data classification.
