Three of the 350 questions in this pack
Question 1
Which of the following models uses a directed graph to specify the rights that a subject can transfer to an object or that a subject can take from another subject?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Take-Grant Protection Model
The Take-Grant Protection Model uses a directed graph to represent the rights that subjects can transfer to objects or take from other subjects. It specifically models the dynamic nature of access rights through grant and take operations on a graph structure.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. The Biba Integrity Model focuses on preventing unauthorized modification and maintains integrity levels but does not use directed graphs to specify transferable rights.
- C. The Bell-LaPadula Model addresses confidentiality through security levels and does not specifically model the transfer of rights via directed graphs.
- D. The Access Matrix represents access rights in a table format, not a directed graph structure.
Question 2
You are the project manager for GHY Project and are working to create a risk response for a negative risk. You and the project team have identified the risk that the project may not complete on time, as required by the management, due to the creation of the user guide for the software you're creating. You have elected to hire an external writer in order to satisfy the requirements and to alleviate the risk event. What type of risk response have you elected to use in this instance?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Transference
Transference (or mitigation through outsourcing) involves shifting the risk to a third party who is better equipped to handle it. By hiring an external writer to complete the user guide, the project transfers the schedule risk associated with user guide creation to the external vendor.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Exploiting is a strategy used for positive risks to enhance opportunities, not for negative risks like schedule delays.
- C. Avoidance eliminates the risk entirely, which is not applicable here since the user guide must still be created.
- D. Sharing applies to distributing risk responsibility among parties, not specifically transferring it to an external resource for handling.
Question 3
Which of the following types of redundancy prevents attacks in which an attacker can get physical control of a machine, insert unauthorized software, and alter data?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Process redundancy
Process redundancy prevents attacks where an attacker gains physical control of a machine and inserts unauthorized software or alters data by maintaining independent parallel processes that can detect and prevent such tampering. Process redundancy includes checkpoints and verification that ensure malicious modifications are detected.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Data redundancy creates backup copies but does not specifically prevent physical attacks or unauthorized software insertion.
- B. Hardware redundancy provides failover capabilities but does not specifically defend against physical tampering or software insertion attacks.
- D. Application redundancy provides alternative applications but does not inherently prevent physical attacks or unauthorized software insertion.

What makes the CSSLP hard
It is ISC2 thinking applied to software, so the technically correct answer often loses to the one that follows the process. Developers expect a secure coding quiz and find a lifecycle governance exam instead.
The eight domains follow the SDLC from start to finish: security requirements and misuse cases, threat modelling in design, secure coding and how it is verified, testing strategy, and the domain that catches most people out, supply chain, from third-party components to SBOMs. Throughout, expect the familiar ISC2 pattern of two defensible answers, where the preferred one manages risk earliest and most systematically.
The weighting is unusually even. No domain is under 10% or over 15%, so nothing can safely be skipped. Architecture and design is the largest at 15%, with implementation and testing at 14% each.
About the exam
CSSLP certifies building security into the whole software lifecycle: requirements, design, implementation, testing, deployment and supply chain. It requires 4 years of SDLC experience (or 3 with a relevant degree, and an Associate route is available). Valid for three years, with CPE credits and an annual maintenance fee.
