Turn your CISSP notes into flashcards you can export as PDF
Ready-made PDF decks cover the CISSP domains in someone else's order. Upload your own domain notes, slides or textbook chapters and DeckOwl builds flashcards you can study with spaced repetition.
Why a custom CISSP flashcard set beats a generic PDF
Ready-made CISSP flashcards PDF files cover the eight security domains in someone else's order, with terms you may not need yet. A set built from your own notes follows the topics your course and study guide actually emphasize.
- Cards come from your own source material, so they match your study guide.
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews around the cards you miss.
- Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.
- PDF export is available on the Plus plan.

Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back on a schedule that targets the ones you are most likely to forget, so review time goes where it helps.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for each CISSP domain?
There is no fixed number. Aim for one card per key term, definition, or decision rule in that domain, and let your notes decide the count.
Which CISSP topics work best as flashcards?
Definitions, acronyms, and comparisons work well, such as the difference between risk treatment options. Scenario questions are usually better practised as quiz questions with explanations.
Can I export my CISSP flashcards to PDF for free?
PDF export is a Plus feature at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser.
Can I use photos of my study guide pages?
Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload them alongside PDFs, slides, or notes.
