CCT 299: Practice CISSP Questions - Data Security Controls

Words can trigger audits, budget panic, or calm execution, and few words carry more weight than “leak” and “breach.” We unpack the real differences, the legal and regulatory implications of each, and how precise language shapes incident response. From there, we get hands-on with CISSP-ready concepts—data states, DLP, CASB, DRM, minimization, sovereignty, and sensitivity labels—and translate them into moves you can make this week.
We start by mapping data states—at rest, in transit, in use—and explaining why data in use often deserves the strongest controls. You’ll hear how teams over-index on storage encryption while under-protecting live workflows, and how to fix that with device posture checks, least privilege, just-in-time access, and application-layer monitoring. Then we dive into data minimization: setting clear retention rules, automating deletion, and killing the “we might need it someday” habit that inflates breach impact and eDiscovery pain. Along the way, sensitivity labels become the glue for governance, tying classification to access, encryption, and audit.
Next, we stress-test common tools. DLP is great at stopping careless exfiltration but struggles with insiders who have legitimate access, so we show how to tune policies, coach users, and add approvals for mass exports. DRM protects intellectual property but introduces compatibility and friction; we outline how to pilot it with high-value content and measure productivity impact. For cloud journeys, CASB delivers visibility into sanctioned and shadow SaaS, enforces consistent policies, and even helps manage data egress costs—vital for budgets and compliance. Finally, we navigate data sovereignty, cross-border flows, and practical tactics like regional storage, masking, and pseudonymization to keep regulators satisfied and data safe.
Whether you’re studying for the CISSP or leading security strategy, you’ll leave with clear definitions, sharper communication, and a toolkit for governing what you keep, protecting what you use, and deleting what you don’t. If you found this helpful, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a teammate who still calls every incident a breach.
