Explore three types of security policies: organizational, issue-specific, and advisory, with examples like varying password lengths by unit and strict money transfer controls to prevent email fraud.
Explore the hierarchical relationship of policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines, and learn how procedures provide step-by-step implementation and require updates as environments change.
Define security minimums and publish accessible policies and standards via a governance platform, but avoid one oversized document; keep procedures selective and simple.
Identify, analyze, and prioritize business continuity requirements via a unit-focused business impact assessment, using a risk-based approach. Involve leaders, choose on-prem vs cloud, and consider turnkey products or contractors.
Develop and document a continuity plan that identifies the affected unit, defines activation and decision rights, and tests with tabletop exercises and hot, warm, or cold backup sites.
Define critical versus non-critical functions through a business impact analysis, and implement recovery point and recovery time objectives while evaluating hot, warm, and cold site options.
Align with HR and compliance to write and enforce personal security policies, job descriptions, separation of duties, and background checks; practice least privilege and rotate roles to mitigate insider threats.

Examine vendor, consultant, and contractor agreements to limit data breach exposure, specify breach notification and incident response, and align with regulatory requirements like PCI DSS and GDPR.
Onboarding, transfers, and terminations require coordinated HR and security policies, remote access, and role-based access, with credential revocation and NDA considerations to protect sensitive data.
Terminate the employee, disable all network accounts, and remove access before onboarding them as a contractor; document exceptions and monitor activity around sensitive information, keeping emails for 90 days.
Explore how compliance and privacy integrate with security governance in the CISSP framework, balancing individual rights with organizational needs, and meeting PCI and privacy policy requirements.

Notes / Disclaimers:
In order for you to pass the CISSP test you need to have the substantial knowledge through experience and knowledge.
The test was originally written in English, but there are other language versions available
Answering the questions you need to consider the "perfect world" scenario and that work around options may be technically correct, but they may not meet (ISC)2 point of view
You need to be able to spot the keywords (DR, BCP, Policy, Standards, etc.) as well as the indicators (First, Best, Last, Least, Most)
Understand and answer every question from the Manager, CISO, or Risk Advisers Point of View (PoV). Answering the questions from a CIO or technical perspective will place your thinking too high or down in the weeds too far.
Understand that you are to answer the questions based on being proactive within your environment. Enable a Vulnerability Management Program before you have vulnerability issues.
The English version of the CISSP exam, utilizes the Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) format and is 3 hours long with 100-150 questions
Most people studying for CISSP certification will various media sources, test banks, and various books to enhance their test taking experience.
Don’t rely on one source to teach you all that you need to know for the CISSP….Invest in multiple training opportunities. The future payoff is worth the time and energy.
