20+ practice questions focused on Endpoint Compliance — one of the most tested topics on the Cisco Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE, 300-715, CCNP Security) (SISE) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Endpoint Compliance PracticeA user is unable to pass posture assessment because the 'AnyConnect Compliance Module' is not detecting the antivirus software. Which log file on the endpoint should be reviewed to troubleshoot the compliance module's scanning logic?
Explanation: The AnyConnect Compliance Module log (ac_ise_posture.log) is the dedicated log file that records the compliance module's scanning activity, including which AV products it detects, which registry keys or WMI queries it inspects, and why a particular check passed or failed. When the module fails to detect installed antivirus software, this log shows the exact detection method attempted and the result, making it the correct troubleshooting source.
When configuring an AnyConnect Posture Policy, which option allows the administrator to force the agent to perform a scan regardless of the current posture status?
Explanation: The 'Mandatory' setting in the Posture Requirement forces the agent to report status and remediate if necessary, whereas 'Optional' allows the user to skip.
Which of the following is a valid remediation action type in Cisco ISE?
Explanation: File Remediation is one of the remediation action types ISE supports, alongside Antivirus Remediation, Windows Update Remediation, and Link Remediation. It allows the posture policy to push a file (such as an updated AV definition or a required patch installer) to the non-compliant endpoint via the AnyConnect/WebAgent posture module.
Which component is responsible for triggering the posture assessment process when a user connects to the network?
Explanation: The posture policy in Cisco ISE defines the conditions and requirements that an endpoint must meet (e.g., antivirus running, patches installed) and is what triggers the posture assessment workflow. When a session matches a posture policy, ISE instructs the NAD to redirect the endpoint to the posture agent or web portal, initiating the assessment. Without a posture policy, no assessment is triggered even if the client has the posture module installed.
Which menu path allows you to view the posture compliance status of all endpoints?
Explanation: In Cisco ISE, the posture compliance status of all endpoints is available through two distinct menu paths: Context Visibility > Endpoints and Operations > Reports > Endpoints and Users > Posture Assessment. Context Visibility > Endpoints provides a real-time, filterable dashboard showing each endpoint's posture status (Compliant, Non-Compliant, Unknown, etc.) along with other attributes. The Operations report path offers a more report-centric view, allowing you to generate and export detailed posture assessment reports. Both are valid ways to view posture compliance across all endpoints, making options A and B correct.

Practice all Endpoint Compliance questions1. Baseline your knowledge
Start with 10 questions to gauge your current understanding of Endpoint Compliance. This tells you whether you need a concept refresher or just practice.
2. Review every explanation
For each question — right or wrong — read the full explanation. Understanding why an answer is correct is more valuable than knowing the answer itself.
3. Focus on exam traps
Endpoint Compliance questions on the SISE frequently use trap wording. Look for subtle differences in answers that test your precision, not just general knowledge.
4. Reach 80% consistently
Do repeated sessions until you score 80%+ three times in a row. Then move to mixed-mode practice to test cross-topic recall under realistic conditions.
The exact number varies per candidate. Endpoint Compliance is tested as part of the Cisco Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE, 300-715, CCNP Security) (SISE) blueprint.
