Scoring syllabus

7 graded modules

100 points
  1. 01Threat and vulnerability judgment

    15%

    Can you assess a system for risk, rank findings using exposure and data sensitivity rather than raw severity scores, and defend the ranking to the system owner?

  2. 02Incident response under pressure

    15%

    Do you scope, contain, preserve evidence, and notify in a sensible order, and can you describe a real event including what you got wrong?

  3. 03Control implementation depth

    14%

    Do you understand encryption in transit, key and certificate handling, firewall rule design, and access provisioning well enough to specify them, not just name them?

  4. 04Verification discipline

    14%

    Do you test controls and monitoring end to end rather than trusting configuration screens, dashboards, or a clean scan report?

  5. 05Communication with users and violators

    14%

    Can you explain risk to non-technical stakeholders, get a decision, and address a policy violation with the person responsible without creating an adversary?

  6. 06Documentation quality

    14%

    Do you produce usable policies, runbooks, test records, and exception documentation that others follow and auditors accept?

  7. 07Currency of knowledge

    14%

    Do you track virus reports, advisories, and vulnerability disclosures on a routine cadence and translate them into concrete changes in your environment?

Sample questions

  1. 1.Walk me through your monitoring workflow on a normal day. What do you look at first and why?
  2. 2.Describe a security breach or suspected compromise you responded to. What did you do in the first hour?
