While comprehensive preparation across all eight CISSP domains is essential for success, understanding their relative weightage on the exam can guide strategic study efforts.
According to the ISC2 CISSP Exam Outline, the approximate weightage for each domain is as follows:
Domains Average Weight 1. Security and Risk Management 15% 2. Asset Security 10% 3. Security Architecture and Engineering 13% 4. Communication and Network Security 13% 5. Identity and Access Management (IAM) 13% 6. Security Assessment and Testing 12% 7. Security Operations 13% 8. Software Development Security 11% Total 100% However, it's crucial to remember:
- Weightage can vary slightly from exam to exam.
- Neglecting domains with lower weightage could still lead to missed questions and a lower score.
- Exam questions often integrate concepts from multiple domains, requiring a holistic understanding.
