Episode 32 — Domain II Overview: Federal vs. State Sector-Specific Frameworks

Domain II focuses on federal and state laws governing specific sectors such as health, finance, education, and telecommunications. This episode introduces the federal “sectoral” approach, where distinct statutes regulate different industries rather than one overarching law. We contrast this with state-level frameworks that increasingly take comprehensive approaches, such as California’s CCPA and CPRA. By examining this domain, you’ll learn how overlapping systems create both compliance challenges and exam scenarios that require careful analysis.

We also explain why sector-specific laws remain central to the U.S. model, highlighting how they coexist with newer state laws. Understanding this layered structure ensures you can navigate questions about scope, exemptions, and enforcement in different contexts. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
