CISA Domain 5: Data Loss Prevention & Monitoring Governance

This episode is part of the CISA Audit Judgment Series — a structured, scenario-based learning path focused on Domains 4 and 5, the heaviest-weighted areas of the CISA exam.

In this episode, we explore a scenario where DLP is fully implemented and generating alerts — but no one is reviewing them. This exposes a critical truth in cybersecurity: tools only create visibility; governance creates protection.

You’ll learn:

✔ Why DLP review and governance are major Domain 5 exam themes

✔ Why “having a tool” does NOT mean “having a control”

✔ How junior auditors interpret DLP vs. how audit leaders evaluate it

✔ What evidence auditors must review for DLP and monitoring governance

✔ How to assess ownership, escalation, triage, and review maturity

✔ How CISA designs questions around unreviewed alerts

✔ The real risk when alerts exist but no one investigates them

This episode teaches both CISA exam mastery and real audit leadership — the essence of the CyberLex Audit Judgment Series.
