CISSP 2024: Data Lifecycle, Controls, & Compliance

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Data is one of the highest-priority assets that most organizations possess. For CISSP professionals, understanding the data lifecycle to ensure that security measures are applied at each stage to protect sensitive information, controls, and compliance is crucial. Together, these elements form the backbone of a robust security strategy, ensuring that data is managed securely throughout its lifecycle, mitigating risks through effective controls, and meeting legal and regulatory requirements. Begin this course by exploring various data roles like owner, controllers, and processors, as well as in use, in transit, and at rest data states. Then you will delve into the phases of the data lifecycle, including data collection, data location, data maintenance, data retention and remanence, and data destruction. Next, you will compare data scoping to data tailoring and learn how to select appropriate data security and privacy standards. Finally, you will focus on data protection methods, including digital rights management (DRM), data loss prevention (DLP), and cloud access security brokers (CASBs). This course helps prepare learners for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam.
