Which of the following regulations do the CIS Controls help organizations conform to?

  1. PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR
  2. OSHA, ADA, EPA
  3. FDIC, SEC, FTC

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The CIS Controls are a set of cybersecurity best practices that help organizations strengthen security and demonstrate compliance with major regulations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR, all of which mandate strong security controls to protect sensitive data.



What is the shared focus of SOC 2 and NIST 800-53 regarding security controls?

  1. Implementing security controls without considering risks
  2. Prioritizing system availability over security measures
  3. Guiding on the selection and application of security controls

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Both SOC 2 and NIST 800-53 focus on providing guidance for the selection and application of security controls to ensure organizations protect data effectively, manage risks, and maintain trust with stakeholders.



An organization is struggling with inconsistent implementation of security controls across different departments, leading to compliance gaps. How can TSC mapping help address this challenge?

  1. By mandating the use of identical security controls across all departments, regardless of their specific risk profiles
  2. By providing a standardized framework for mapping and aligning security controls with different departments' compliance needs, promoting consistency
  3. By replacing existing departmental security policies with a centralized, TSC-based security policy applicable to the entire organization

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

TSC mapping provides a standardized framework to align and map security controls across departments. This promotes consistency in implementation while still allowing for department-specific compliance needs, thereby reducing compliance gaps and strengthening overall governance.



What is the primary difference between a SOC 2 Type 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 report?

  1. SOC 2 Type 1 evaluates the design and implementation of controls at a specific point in time, while SOC 2 Type 2 examines the controls over time
  2. SOC 2 Type 1 is conducted by internal auditors, while SOC 2 Type 2 is conducted by independent auditors
  3. SOC 2 Type 1 does not assess adherence to the TSC, while SOC 2 Type 2 does

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The key difference is that a SOC 2 Type 1 report evaluates the design and implementation of controls at a specific point in time, while a SOC 2 Type 2 report assesses the operating effectiveness of those controls over a defined period of time.



How does the NIST Cybersecurity Framework strengthen the link between business objectives and cybersecurity measures?

  1. By focusing solely on industry-specific guidelines
  2. By incorporating the core, profiles, and implementation tiers
  3. By providing general cybersecurity best practices

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework strengthens the link between business objectives and cybersecurity measures through its three structured components: the core (functions, categories, subcategories), profiles (alignment of practices with business needs), and implementation tiers (maturity levels of risk management practices).
