Security 
and Risk 
Management
DOMAIN 
1 
OF 
THE 
CISSP 
Common 
Body 
of 
Knowledge 
(CBK) 
covers 
the 
founda-
tional 
topics 
of 
building 
and 
managing 
a 
risk-based 
information 
security 
program. 
This 
domain 
covers 
a 
wide 
variety 
of 
concepts 
upon 
which 
the 
remainder 
of 
the 
CBK 
builds.
Before 
diving 
into 
the 
heart 
of 
security 
and 
risk 
management 
concepts, 
this 
chapter 
begins 
with 
coverage 
of 
professional 
ethics 
and 
how 
they 
apply 
in 
the 
field 
of 
information 
security. 
Understanding 
your 
responsibilities 
as 
a 
security 
professional 
is 
equally 
as 
important 
as 
knowing 
how 
to 
apply 
the 
security 
con-
cepts. 
We 
then 
move 
on 
to 
topics 
related 
to 
understanding 
your 
organization’s 
mission, 
strategy, 
goals, 
and 
business 
objectives, 
and 
evaluating 
how 
to 
properly 
satisfy 
your 
organization’s 
business 
needs 
securely.
Understanding 
risk 
management, 
and 
how 
its 
concepts 
apply 
to 
information 
security, 
is 
one 
of 
the 
most 
important 
things 
you 
should 
take 
away 
from 
this 
chapter. 
We 
describe 
risk 
management 
concepts 
and 
explain 
how 
to 
apply 
them 
within 
your 
organization’s 
security 
program. 
In 
addition, 
understanding 
relevant 
legal, 
regulatory, 
and 
compliance 
requirements 
is 
a 
critical 
component 
of 
every 
information 
security 
program.
