EPSO Cybersecurity & Data Protection Questions
Test your knowledge of cybersecurity concepts, GDPR, and data protection — the largest topic in the EPSO digital skills test.
What are cybersecurity questions?
Cybersecurity questions test your understanding of threats (phishing, malware, social engineering), protective measures (encryption, firewalls, multi-factor authentication), and data protection regulation — particularly GDPR, which is heavily tested.
As the largest subtopic in digital skills, cybersecurity questions can make or break your score. EPSO focuses on practical, scenario-based questions: what to do if you suspect a data breach, how to handle personal data, and basic security hygiene.
Tips for cybersecurity questions
GDPR is the most tested regulation — know data subject rights, lawful bases, and DPO role
Understand the CIA triad: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability
Know the difference between encryption types: symmetric vs asymmetric, at rest vs in transit
Social engineering questions often test 'what should you do?' — the answer is always 'verify independently'
