Three of the 237 questions in this pack

Question 1

A security architect applying SABSA must turn vague stakeholder statements, such as a demand that a service be trustworthy, into normalized business requirements, each with a definition and a measurable performance target, so that every control can be traced back to a business need. Which SABSA component is designed for this work?

  1. Attributes Profiling, the Business Requirements Engineering Framework
  2. The Policy Architecture Framework
  3. The Security Domain Framework
  4. The Through-life Security Service Management and Performance Management Framework
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Attributes Profiling, the Business Requirements Engineering Framework

SABSA is a business-driven, risk and opportunity focused method, and its Business Requirements Engineering Framework is known as Attributes Profiling. The architect expresses what the business needs as a set of business attributes, each given a clear definition and a performance target, so the requirement becomes specific and measurable. Because later design decisions and controls are mapped back to these attributes, the architecture keeps two-way traceability between controls and business objectives, which is how SABSA keeps security spending tied to real business needs.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. The Policy Architecture Framework is a separate SABSA framework concerned with security policy, not the framework SABSA names for engineering business requirements.
  • C. The Security Domain Framework is a separate SABSA framework concerned with security domains, not with converting stakeholder statements into measurable requirements.
  • D. This framework manages delivered security services and their performance through life, which follows requirements engineering rather than defining the requirements in the first place.

Question 2

Which of the following terms refers to the method that allows or restricts specific types of packets from crossing over the firewall?

  1. Hacking
  2. Packet filtering
  3. Web caching
  4. Spoofing
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Packet filtering

Packet filtering is the core firewall technique that examines individual packets and allows or blocks them based on predefined rules (source/destination IP, port numbers, protocols). It operates at the network layer to control traffic crossing the firewall.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Hacking is unauthorized access to systems, not a firewall security method.
  • C. Web caching improves performance by storing web content locally, unrelated to firewall packet control.
  • D. Spoofing is a type of attack where attackers falsify source addresses, not a firewall filtering method.

Question 3

You work as a Network Administrator for NetTech Inc. The company wants to encrypt its e-mails.

Which of the following will you use to accomplish this?

  1. PGP
  2. PPTP
  3. IPSec
  4. NTFS
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. PGP

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is specifically designed for encrypting emails and is the standard choice for email encryption. It provides both encryption and digital signatures for email messages.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. PPTP is a tunneling protocol for VPN connections, not email encryption.
  • C. IPSec operates at the network layer for VPN tunnels, not at the application layer for email.
  • D. NTFS is a file system format, completely unrelated to email encryption.

What makes the ISSAP hard

ISSAP is the CISSP's architecture concentration: the same ISC2 style, one level deeper, taken by people who already passed one of the hardest best-answer exams in security and still find this one slippery.

Every question is a design decision under constraints: which architecture pattern satisfies a governance requirement, IAM architecture across federations and hybrid estates, cryptographic architecture choices and their lifecycle, and infrastructure security design where three answers work and only one aligns with the stated risk appetite. The CISSP teaches the concepts; the ISSAP tests whether a candidate can arrange them.

The exam is heavily weighted toward infrastructure: infrastructure and system security is 32% on its own, and IAM architecture another 25%, together well over half the paper. This pack has 237 practice questions for the ISSAP.

About the exam

CISSP-ISSAP certifies security architecture expertise as a CISSP concentration: governance aligned architecture, security architecture modelling, infrastructure and system security, and identity and access management architecture. It requires a CISSP in good standing plus 2 years of architecture experience, or seven years of cumulative experience across two or more domains, and is maintained under the CISSP CPE cycle.
