01. Each quarter, a risk office gives the executive committee one page of indicators showing the estimated likelihood and potential impact of the organization's leading cyber risks, trended over four quarters. The committee uses the page to judge whether risk management is delivering and what it should change. Which CSF 2.0 Subcategory does the committee's use of these figures support?
a) ID.RA-05, threats, vulnerabilities, likelihoods, and impacts used to understand inherent risk
b) GV.RM-06, a standardized method for calculating and prioritizing risks established
c) GV.OV-03, organizational risk management performance evaluated and reviewed
d) ID.RA-06, risk responses chosen, prioritized, planned, tracked, and communicated
02. An organization wants recovery effort to go first to the assets that matter most, so it prioritizes assets based on classification, criticality, resources and impact on the mission. Under which CSF 2.0 Function is this outcome defined?
a) IDENTIFY
b) PROTECT
c) RECOVER
d) RESPOND
03. An organization wants a voluntary, sector- and technology-neutral framework that expresses cybersecurity as high-level outcomes organized into six Functions, without prescribing how those outcomes are achieved. Which entity publishes this framework?
a) COSO
b) COBIT
c) NIST
d) ISO
04. An organization's recovery strategy depends on backups being available when they are needed. Which CSF 2.0 Subcategory states that backups of data are created, protected, maintained and tested?
a) ID.AM-07
b) PR.DS-11
c) RC.RP-03
d) PR.PS-01
05. An identity team rescinds a person's access the same day it learns of a departure, and its quarterly privilege review runs on schedule and removes whatever it finds. Even so, a sample of recent leavers shows accounts active for up to three months after the last working day. HR's exit checklist covers payroll, keys, and benefits, and departures reach the identity team only when a department happens to mention one. Which action addresses the CSF 2.0 outcome that is failing?
a) Train departing staff to return credentials and report their last day (PR.AT-01)
b) Run the privilege review monthly, so that privileges no longer needed are rescinded sooner (PR.AA-05)
c) Add a step to HR's exit process that notifies security of every departure, so cybersecurity is part of HR practice (GV.RR-04)
d) Revoke the credentials and identity tokens of each leaver the team is told about (PR.AA-01)
06. In the Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain, at which stage do attackers use malware to exploit a specific software or hardware vulnerability on the target, using information gathered during reconnaissance?
a) Delivery
b) Installation
c) Weaponization
d) Exploitation
07. The security lead at a semiconductor maker drafts a Profile limited to ransomware attacks on the company's fabrication control systems. It records which CSF outcomes the plant teams are achieving today and which ones the company has selected for next year, and the plant managers will use it to plan their budgets. How should this document be classified?
a) A Community Profile addressing a particular threat type
b) A CSF Tier characterization of ransomware readiness
c) An Organizational Profile with a narrow scope
d) A Target Profile standing apart from any Organizational Profile
08. Which practice reflects an outcome of the DETECT Function in CSF 2.0?
a) Choosing and prioritizing responses to identified risks
b) Sharing adverse event information with authorized staff and tools
c) Restricting detection findings to IT management alone
d) Starting detection only after all PROTECT outcomes are fully achieved
09. An attacker compromises an Internet-connected file server and exfiltrates all of its data. The attacker then crashes the file service, and users cannot reach their files until the operations team reroutes the workload to a different high-availability node 15 minutes later. The stored files were not altered. Which parts of the CIA triad were affected?
a) Confidentiality and availability
b) Confidentiality and integrity
c) Availability and integrity
d) Availability only
10. After a ransomware attack, an organization's IT team restores systems and recovers data from cloud backups. Which CSF 2.0 Category does this activity best align with?
a) Incident Response Reporting and Communication (RS.CO)
b) Incident Recovery Communication (RC.CO)
c) Incident Mitigation (RS.MI)
d) Incident Recovery Plan Execution (RC.RP)
