Question #2

Due care is not related to:

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: C

Officers and directors of a company are expected to act carefully in fulfilling their tasks. A director shall act in good faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner he reasonably believes is in the best interest of the enterprise. The notion of profit would tend to go against the due care principle.

Question #3

What is the most critical characteristic of a biometric identifying system?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: C

Accuracy is the most critical characteristic of a biometric identifying verification system.

Accuracy is measured in terms of false rejection rate (FRR, or type I errors) and false acceptance rate (FAR or type II errors).

The Crossover Error Rate (CER) is the point at which the FRR equals the FAR and has become the most important measure of biometric system accuracy.

Question #4

Related to information security, integrity is the opposite of which of the following?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: B

Integrity is the opposite of 'alteration.'

Source: KRUTZ, Ronald L. & VINES, Russel D., The CISSP Prep Guide: Mastering the Ten Domains of Computer Security, 2001, John Wiley & Sons, Page 59.


Question #5

In which of the following phases of system development life cycle (SDLC) is contingency planning most important?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: A

Contingency planning requirements should be considered at every phase of SDLC, but most importantly when a new IT system is being conceived. In the initiation phase, system requirements are identified and matched to their related operational processes, allowing determination of the system's appropriate recovery priority.
