Sample CISP-DSG Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your CISP-DSG exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In information security assurance (信息安全保障), which triad describes the three core security properties that data-security governance programs are designed to protect?
A.Authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA)
B.Prevention, detection, and recovery only
C.Identification, authentication, and non-repudiation only
D.Confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA / 机密性、完整性、可用性)
Explanation: The CIA triad—confidentiality (机密性), integrity (完整性), and availability (可用性)—is the foundational set of information-security properties taught in CISP-DSG information-security knowledge. Data-security governance maps classification, technical controls, and operational processes to these three properties rather than treating any one of them as sufficient by itself.
2In information-security risk analysis, what is the correct relationship among an asset, a threat, and a vulnerability?
A.A threat is a weakness in a control, and a vulnerability is an external attacker
B.An asset is any control device, and risk exists only after an incident occurs
C.A threat is a potential cause of harm, a vulnerability is a weakness that can be exploited, and risk arises where they meet an asset
D.A vulnerability is always a person, and a threat is always a technical defect
Explanation: CISP-DSG information-security assessment treats risk as the combination of an asset’s value, a threat that could cause harm, and a vulnerability that could be exploited. Controls reduce likelihood or impact; they do not redefine those three elements.
3Which statement best describes availability (可用性) as an information-security property for data assets?
A.Data can be read by anyone on the network so that business is never delayed
B.Data is stored in plaintext so restoration never requires keys
C.Authorized users and processes can access data and services when needed, within agreed continuity requirements
D.Availability is achieved solely by encrypting backups
Explanation: Availability means authorized subjects can obtain data and services when required, which is why backup, high availability, and disaster recovery sit inside CISP-DSG data-security technology. It is not the same as unrestricted public access, and encryption of backups protects confidentiality of copies rather than creating availability by itself.
4A data warehouse job silently changes numeric totals in a report without adding or deleting rows. Which CIA property is primarily violated?
A.Confidentiality, because the report became readable
B.Availability, because the warehouse was offline
C.Non-repudiation only, because no user signed the job
D.Integrity (完整性), because data was altered in an unauthorized or undetected way
Explanation: Integrity is the property that data has not been unauthorizedly created, changed, or destroyed. Silent alteration of totals is a classic integrity failure even when the system remains up and the data is not disclosed to outsiders.
5The PDRR information-assurance model organizes security activities into which four functions?
A.Policy, people, process, and products
B.Plan, do, check, and act only
C.Identify, protect, detect, and govern only
D.Protection, detection, response, and recovery (防护、检测、响应、恢复)
Explanation: PDRR is a widely taught assurance model in Chinese information-security knowledge: protection (防护), detection (检测), response (响应), and recovery (恢复). CISP-DSG candidates should be able to place data-security controls into these functions rather than treating security as a single preventive wall.
6Which statement correctly distinguishes preventive, detective, and corrective controls in an information-security program?
A.Detective controls are always technical, and preventive controls are always administrative
B.Corrective controls replace the need for backups
C.Preventive controls stop incidents before they occur, detective controls identify incidents or violations, and corrective controls restore a secure state
D.Preventive controls are used only after an incident is confirmed
Explanation: CISP-DSG supporting knowledge expects candidates to classify controls by function: prevent unauthorized action, detect that something happened, and correct or recover afterward. A data-security program needs all three functions; encryption or DLP blocking is preventive, audit logs and alerts are detective, and restore or patching is corrective.
7What does the least-privilege principle (最小权限原则) require when granting access to data systems?
A.Every employee receives administrator rights so work is never blocked
B.Privileges are never revoked once granted
C.Public data and core data use the same open access list
D.Users and processes receive only the access necessary to perform authorized duties, and no more
Explanation: Least privilege limits each subject to the minimum rights needed for assigned tasks. In data-security governance it underpins role design, database accounts, and production-data access, and it is a standard supporting-technology control alongside authentication.
8What is the purpose of defense in depth (纵深防御) when protecting data processing systems?
A.Rely on a single perimeter firewall so inner systems need no controls
B.Encrypt data only after it has already been leaked
C.Disable logging to improve performance
D.Layer complementary controls so failure of one control does not expose the data asset
Explanation: Defense in depth stacks people, process, and technical controls—for example identity, network segmentation, encryption, DLP, and audit—so that no single failure is catastrophic. CISP-DSG treats data protection as a layered system, not a one-product purchase.
9The WPDRRC information-assurance model commonly taught in Chinese information-security knowledge adds which elements beyond basic protection, detection, response, and recovery?
A.Only marketing and sales functions
B.Only physical key management and paper shredding
C.Warning/early warning (预警) and counterattack (反击), forming 预警、保护、检测、响应、恢复、反击
D.Only cloud vendor scorecards
Explanation: WPDRRC extends PDRR with warning/early warning (预警) and counterattack (反击), yielding the six-function Chinese assurance model 预警、保护、检测、响应、恢复、反击. CISP information-security knowledge uses this model to stress monitoring before an incident and lawful countermeasures afterward, not merely static protection.
10In CISP-style information-security knowledge, how should information assurance (信息安全保障) be distinguished from a single security product deployment?
A.Assurance is only antivirus software on endpoints
B.Assurance is achieved the day a firewall is purchased
C.Assurance applies only to classified state secrets and never to enterprise data
D.Assurance is a continuous combination of strategy, management, technology, and operations that keeps CIA properties at an acceptable level
Explanation: Information assurance is a process and system: policy and organization, technical measures, and ongoing operations (monitoring, assessment, improvement). CISP-DSG’s later governance class builds on this idea for data, so candidates should not equate assurance with buying one product.

CISP-DSG Study Tips from Top Performers

1Keep official Chinese terms in parentheses (数据分类分级, 重要数据, 单独同意, 数据防泄漏) so you can recognize them on the Chinese paper.
2Memorize the four knowledge-class weights (40/10/20/30) and spend the most time on information-security knowledge plus governance and assurance.
3For outbound transfer, learn the PIPL Article 38 mechanisms (security assessment, certification, standard contract) and CII/important-data assessment concepts; do not memorize unofficial volume cut-offs.
4Distinguish encryption, masking (静态/动态脱敏), tokenization, de-identification, and anonymization—they are frequent distractors.
5Map every control to a lifecycle stage (收集、存储、使用、加工、传输、提供、公开、删除) rather than treating DLP or backup as isolated products.
6Practice 100 items in 120 minutes, then review every wrong explanation before the official Chinese sitting.
