Why CISSP Regulations Are Harder Than Expected: My Study Journey
Important Laws and Regulations (OBJ 1.4)
Introduction
Last week, I started my CISSP journey, and honestly? I’m loving it so far.
But as I’ve dived into the regulations domain, I quickly realised something, there are way more regulations than I expected! It’s a bit overwhelming, and I know I’m not the only one who’s felt this way. 😅
Why CISSP Regulations Are Challenging
I didn’t know there would be 8 known regulations to understand. That completely caught me off guard. I thought there would just be a handful, but instead, I found myself staring at a list of names and acronyms that seemed endless.
• PCI DSS? Sure, that one makes sense.
• GDPR? We’ve all covered that in countless HR training sessions.
• But SOX, GINA, GLBA? Never heard of them!
• The unexpected mix of familiar and unfamiliar regulations really threw me.
It’s not just about memorising the names, it’s about understanding the context of each one. For example, knowing how regulations like PCI DSS tie into cybersecurity can be challenging, especially when they’re not part of your daily work.
And let’s not forget the acronyms, I’ve heard of FTCA and HIPAA, but the rest? They’re completely new to me! 😅
My Approach to Memorising CISSP Regulations
To keep my study sessions effective, I’m planning to use flashcards. They’re practical for drilling acronyms and key points. Plus, I’m thinking about creating visual aids to make the information more digestible, I might even get some help from Professor ChatGPT for that!
Right now, I’m working through Jason Dion’s Udemy course: ISC2 CISSP Full Course & Practice Exam. Honestly, it’s been a lifesaver. The structured lessons and practice exams keep me on track, and the course’s tone is engaging and easy to follow.
Learning from the Cybersecurity Community
If you’ve tackled the CISSP regulations, how did you handle memorising them? I’d love to hear your strategies!
Also, if you have any resources or study techniques that worked for you, drop a comment. I’m always on the lookout for new methods to make this journey a bit smoother.
Consistency Is Key in CISSP Preparation
One thing I’ve learned so far is that consistency is key. I dedicate an hour a day to studying, which helps me soak up the new information without feeling overwhelmed. My approach is simple: enjoy the process and stay curious. Progress might be slow, but it’s all about taking consistent steps forward.
Final Thoughts on CISSP Study Tips
Sometimes, the volume of information feels like a lot to handle, but I remind myself that perseverance will get me there. I’m determined to stay focused, keep pushing through, and find ways to make studying enjoyable.
