Official (ISC)2 Guide to the HCISPP CBK ((ISC)2 Press)

Very good book

This book has mixed reviews but I found it well written and on point. This subject matter is very specialized. If you have some foundation knowledge of information security/privacy best practices this book will be a great resource. If you lack infosec experience, I suggest you start with a CISSP review guide.

Horribly dry and hard to read. Wish it had more anecdotes and Case studies. If I pass the test after reading it, I may come give it a better rating. The chapters should be shorter or have quizzes at the end of subchapters because I would read 20 pages at a time and then not remember everything on the Chapter Test because it had been several days since reading the content at the beginning of the long chapter (75 pages per chapter...).

It was a great book and easy to understand. I enjoyed it and it helped me passed the HCISPP exam.

The HCISSP CBK Edited by Steven Hernandez, is by far one of the worst Healthcare Information Security books I have read. To be honest with you, I WANT MY MONEY BACK. I have purchased over 1,000+ books from Amazon. Keep in mind I am in the Information Technology Healthcare Sector. Below are my problems with this book.1. The Chapters are extremely long. My biggest problem. THE REVIEW QUESTIONS ARE HORRIBLE.2. The book is extremely dry and boring. The only way I could read this book was when I was fresh. Do not read this book first thing in the morning, or after working a long day. You will fall asleep.3. Although the book does a good job of providing information on the CBK domain. The content within the BOOK IS JUST poor. TThis book is a major disappointment. Read this book only if you have years of experience in the HealthCare Information technology4. If you are planning on taking the HCISPP Certification save you money and time. Do what I did, go take the Healthcare Information Technology Exam by CompTIA. Honestly you will learn the same information. But more important, the books for this certification are much better than the Official (ISC) Guide.5. ISC, honestly I am shocked with your poor attempt to get into the Healthcare Information security sector. You had a good run with the CISSP. If you want Information Security Professional such as myself to keep up with our CISSP cert, or take other certs by ISC. Please do a better job next time. Use a book that’s worth our time as professional. “By far this is the worst technical book I have read in years.”6. Another Major Issue I have with this book. “Using Websites as sources.” This book should have been a free PDF document provided as a favor for calling ISC for future course information.Don’t waste your time with this book. Hopefully someone can put together a better book.And Yes I have my CISSP..

This was a good book that explains healthcare compliance information and terms with security concepts. I wish there were more study questions after each chapter.

This book let me pass the HCISPP exam after one read, and there is a lot of good information in it. I think it's going to be a great reference tool for risk management in our organization.

Good book but a little dated (2015) so it only mentions GDPR as legislation on the horizon. Most annoying is that the books is riddled with typos and grammatical errors. A new edition is sourly needed with a good proofreader.
