NEW QUESTION # 69
Which measure is a preventive measure?

• A. Shutting down all internet traffic after a hacker has gained access to the company systems
• B. Putting sensitive information in a safe
• C. Installing a logging system that enables changes in a system to be recognized

Answer: B

Explanation:
A preventive measure is a measure that aims to avoid or reduce the likelihood or impact of an unwanted incident. Putting sensitive information in a safe is an example of such a measure, as it protects the information from unauthorized access, theft, damage or loss. Installing a logging system, shutting down internet traffic or restoring data from backups are not preventive measures, but rather detective, corrective or recovery measures. They do not prevent incidents from happening, but rather help to identify, stop or recover from them. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 defines preventive action as "action to eliminate the cause of a potential nonconformity or other undesirable potential situation" (see clause 3.38). Reference: [CQI & IRCA Certified ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor Training Course], ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information technology - Security techniques - Information security management systems - Requirements, What is Preventive Measure?

NEW QUESTION # 70
You are a certification body auditor, conducting a surveillance audit to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 of a data centre operated by a client who provides hosting services for ICT facilities.
You and your guide are currently in one of the private suites that the client rents out to customers. Access to each suite is controlled using a combination lock. CCTV is also installed in every suite.
Within each suite are three data cabinets in which the client can locate mission-critical servers and other items of networking equipment such as switches and routers.
You notice that whilst two of the cabinets in your suite are locked, the third is unlocked. You ask the guide why. They reply "This is because the client is currently swapping out a hard drive unit. Their technician is currently on a lunch break".
What three actions should you undertake next?

• A. Do nothing, the room appears adequately protected so it is unlikely that a security incident has taken place.
• B. When the technician returns from lunch, reprimand them for leaving the cabinet open.
• C. With the permission of the guide, speak to the customer to confirm that they are in the process of swapping out a drive.
• D. Raise an opportunity for improvement suggesting cabinet doors are locked whenever clients leave their suites, even if they intend to return within a short time.
• E. Raise a nonconformity against control 7.4 'physical security monitoring' as the private suite is not being continuously monitored for unauthorised physical access.
• F. Review the CCTV records to ensure that only the client has accessed the cabinet since it was last confirmed as locked.
• G. Raise a nonconformity against control 5.16 'identity management' as it may not be possible to identify who left the cabinet unlocked.
• H. Raise a nonconformity against control 7.2 'physical entry' as the area where the client's equipment is located is not protected.

Answer: C,D,F

Explanation:
Leaving the cabinet unlocked while the technician is on a lunch break exposes the client's equipment and data to potential physical security risks, such as theft, damage, or tampering. This is a violation of the ISO/IEC
27001:2022 requirements for physical entry (control 7.2) and physical security monitoring (control 7.4), which aim to prevent unauthorized access to information processing facilities and assets. Therefore, the appropriate actions for the auditor are:
* Raise an opportunity for improvement (OFI) suggesting that the cabinet doors are locked whenever clients leave their suites, even if they intend to return within a short time. This would enhance the security of the client's equipment and data, and reduce the likelihood of security incidents.
* Review the CCTV records to ensure that only the client has accessed the cabinet since it was last confirmed as locked. This would verify the integrity and availability of the client's equipment and data, and identify any possible unauthorized access or interference.
* With the permission of the guide, speak to the customer to confirm that they are in the process of swapping out a drive. This would validate the reason for leaving the cabinet unlocked, and assess the impact and risk of the activity on the client's information security.

NEW QUESTION # 71
As an auditor, you have noticed that ABC Inc. has established a procedure to manage the removable storage media. The procedure is based on the classification scheme adopted by ABC Inc. Thus, if the information stored is classified as "confidential," the procedure applies. On the other hand, the information that is classified as "public," does not have confidentiality requirements: thus, only a procedure for ensuring its integrity and availability applies. What type of audit finding is this?

• A. Nonconformity
• B. Anomaly
• C. Conformity

Answer: C

Explanation:
This scenario represents a conformity because ABC Inc. has implemented procedures for managing removable storage media that align with the classification scheme of the information stored. When information is classified as "confidential," more stringent procedures apply, whereas for "public" information, the procedures focus only on integrity and availability, following the organization's defined information classification policy.
References: ISO/IEC 27001:2013, Clause A.8.2 (Information classification)

NEW QUESTION # 72
A hacker gains access to a webserver and can view a file on the server containing credit card numbers.
Which of the Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability (CIA) principles of the credit card file are violated?

• A. Integrity
• B. Availability
• C. Confidentiality
• D. Compliance

Answer: C

NEW QUESTION # 73
You are performing an ISMS audit at a residential nursing home that provides healthcare services. The next step in your audit plan is to verify the information security incident management process. The IT Security Manager presents the information security incident management procedure (Document reference ID:
ISMS_L2_16, version 4).
You review the document and notice a statement "Any information security weakness, event, and incident should be reported to the Point of Contact (PoC) within 1 hour after identification". When interviewing staff, you found that there were differences in the understanding of the meaning of the phrase "weakness, event, and incident".
The IT Security Manager explained that an online "information security handling" training seminar was conducted 6 months ago. All the people interviewed participated in and passed the reporting exercise and course assessment.
You would like to investigate other areas further to collect more audit evidence. Select three options that would not be valid audit trails.

• A. Collect more evidence on how areas subject to information security incidents are quarantined to maintain information security during disruption (relevant to control A.5.29)
• B. Collect more evidence on how the organisation tests the business continuity plan. (Relevant to control A.5.30)
• C. Collect more evidence on whether terms and definitions are contained in the information security policy.(Relevant to control 5.32)
• D. Collect more evidence on how the organisation manages the Point of Contact (PoC) which monitors vulnerabilities. (Relevant to clause 8.1)
• E. Collect more evidence on how information security incidents are reported via appropriate channels (relevant to control A.6.8)
• F. Collect more evidence to determine if ISO 27035 (Information security incident management) is used as internal audit criteria. (Relevant to clause 8.13)
• G. Collect more evidence on how the organisation learns from information security incidents and makes improvements. (Relevant to control A.5.27)
• H. Collect more evidence on how the organisation conducts information security incident training and evaluates its effectiveness. (Relevant to clause 7.2)

Answer: C,D,F

Explanation:
Explanation
The three options that would not be valid audit trails are:
*Collect more evidence on how the organisation manages the Point of Contact (PoC) which monitors vulnerabilities. (Relevant to clause 8.1)
*Collect more evidence on whether terms and definitions are contained in the information security policy.
(Relevant to control 5.32)
*Collect more evidence to determine if ISO 27035 (Information security incident management) is used as internal audit criteria. (Relevant to clause 8.13) These options are not valid audit trails because they are not directly related to the information security incident management process, which is the focus of the audit. The audit trails should be relevant to the objectives, scope, and criteria of the audit, and should provide sufficient and reliable evidence to support the audit findings and conclusions1.
Option E is not valid because the PoC is not a part of the information security incident management process, but rather a role that is responsible for reporting and escalating information security incidents to the appropriate authorities2. The audit trail should focus on how the PoC performs this function, not how the organisation manages the PoC.
Option G is not valid because the terms and definitions are not a part of the information security incident management process, but rather a part of the information security policy, which is a high-level document that defines the organisation's information security objectives, principles, and responsibilities3. The audit trail should focus on how the information security policy is communicated, implemented, and reviewed, not whether it contains terms and definitions.
Option H is not valid because ISO 27035 is not a part of the information security incident management process, but rather a guidance document that provides best practices for managing information security incidents4. The audit trail should focus on how the organisation follows the requirements of ISO/IEC
27001:2022 for information security incident management, not whether it uses ISO 27035 as an internal audit criteria.
The other options are valid audit trails because they are related to the information security incident management process, and they can provide useful evidence to evaluate the conformity and effectiveness of the process. For example:
*Option A is valid because it relates to control A.5.29, which requires the organisation to establish procedures to isolate and quarantine areas subject to information security incidents, in order to prevent further damage and preserve evidence5. The audit trail should collect evidence on how the organisation implements and tests these procedures, and how they ensure the continuity of information security during disruption.
*Option B is valid because it relates to control A.6.8, which requires the organisation to establish mechanisms for reporting information security events and weaknesses, and to ensure that they are communicated in a timely manner to the appropriate levels within the organisation6. The audit trail should collect evidence on how the organisation defines and uses these mechanisms, and how they monitor and review the reporting process.
*Option C is valid because it relates to clause 7.2, which requires the organisation to provide information security awareness, education, and training to all persons under its control, and to evaluate the effectiveness of these activities7. The audit trail should collect evidence on how the organisation identifies the information security training needs, how they deliver and record the training, and how they measure the learning outcomes and feedback.
*Option D is valid because it relates to control A.5.27, which requires the organisation to learn from information security incidents and to implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence or reduce impact8.
The audit trail should collect evidence on how the organisation analyses and documents the root causes and consequences of information security incidents, how they identify and implement corrective actions, and how they verify the effectiveness of these actions.
*Option F is valid because it relates to control A.5.30, which requires the organisation to establish and maintain a business continuity plan to ensure the availability of information and information processing facilities in the event of a severe information security incident9. The audit trail should collect evidence on how the organisation develops and updates the business continuity plan, how they test and review the plan, and how they communicate and train the relevant personnel on the plan.

NEW QUESTION # 74
Scenario 3: NightCore is a multinational technology company based in the United States that focuses on e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence. After having an information security management system (ISMS) implemented for over 8 months, they contracted a certification body to conduct a third party audit in order to get certified against ISO/IEC 27001.
The certification body set up a team of seven auditors. Jack, the most experienced auditor, was assigned as the audit team leader. Over the years, he received many well known certifications, such as the ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor, CISA, CISSP, and CISM.
Jack conducted thorough analyses on each phase of the ISMS audit, by studying and evaluating every information security requirement and control that was implemented by NightCore. During stage 2 audit. Jack detected several nonconformities. After comparing the number of purchased invoices for software licenses with the software inventory, Jack found out that the company has been using the illegal versions of a software for many computers. He decided to ask for an explanation from the top management about this nonconformity and see whether they were aware about this. His next step was to audit NightCore's IT Department. The top management assigned Tom, NightCore's system administrator, to act as a guide and accompany Jack and the audit team toward the inner workings of their system and their digital assets infrastructure.
While interviewing a member of the Department of Finance, the auditors discovered that the company had recently made some unusual large transactions to one of their consultants. After gathering all the necessary details regarding the transactions. Jack decided to directly interview the top management.
When discussing about the first nonconformity, the top management told Jack that they willingly decided to use a copied software over the original one since it was cheaper. Jack explained to the top management of NightCore that using illegal versions of software is against the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 and the national laws and regulations. However, they seemed to be fine with it.
Several months after the audit, Jack sold some of NightCore's information that he collected during the audit for a huge amount of money to competitors of NightCore.
Based on this scenario, answer the following question:
What type of audit evidence has Jack collected when he identified the first nonconformity regarding the software? Refer to scenario 3.

• A. Mathematical evidence
• B. Analytical evidence
• C. Verbal evidence

Answer: A

Explanation:
Jack collected mathematical evidence when he identified nonconformities by comparing the number of purchased invoices for software licenses with the software inventory. This type of evidence involves numerical, quantifiable data that highlights discrepancies and supports findings of compliance or non-compliance.

NEW QUESTION # 75
Which two of the following phrases would apply to 'check' in the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle for a business process?

• A. Making improvements
• B. Verifying training
• C. Managing changes
• D. Resetting objectives
• E. Auditing processes
• F. Updating the Information Security Policy

Answer: B,E

Explanation:
The two phrases that would apply to 'check' in the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle for a business process are:
* C. Verifying training
* F. Auditing processes
* C. This phrase applies to 'check' in the PDCA cycle because it involves measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of the training activities that were implemented in the 'do' phase. Training is an important
* aspect of information security awareness, education, and competence, which are required by clause 7.2 of ISO 27001:20221. Verifying training can help the organisation to assess whether the staff have acquired the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviour to perform their roles and responsibilities in relation to information security. Verifying training can also help the organisation to identify any gaps or weaknesses in the training program and to plan for improvement actions.
* F. This phrase applies to 'check' in the PDCA cycle because it involves examining and reviewing the performance and conformity of the processes that were implemented in the 'do' phase. Auditing is a systematic, independent, and documented process for obtaining objective evidence and evaluating it to determine the extent to which the audit criteria are fulfilled2. Auditing processes can help the organisation to verify whether the information security objectives and requirements are met, whether the information security controls are effective and efficient, and whether the information security risks are adequately managed. Auditing processes can also help the organisation to identify any nonconformities or opportunities for improvement and to plan for corrective or preventive actions.

NEW QUESTION # 76
Review the following statements and determine which two are false:

• A. The selection of onsite, virtual or combination audits should take into consideration historical performance and previous audit results
• B. The number of days assigned to a third-party audit is determined by the auditee's availability
• C. Conducting a technology check in advance of a virtual audit can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the audit
• D. Due to confidentiality and security concerns, screen sharing during a virtual audit is one method by which the audit team can review the auditee's documentation
• E. During a virtual audit, auditees participating in interviews are strongly recommended to keep their webcam enabled
• F. Auditors approved for conducting onsite audits do not require additional training for virtual audits, as there are no significant differences in the skillset required

Answer: B,F

Explanation:
* A: Auditors approved for conducting onsite audits do require additional training for virtual audits to ensure they are competent in using the technology and tools required for conducting audits remotely12.
* E: The number of days assigned to a third-party audit is not determined by the auditee's availability, but rather by factors such as the size and complexity of the organization, the scope of the audit, and the requirements of the certification body34.

NEW QUESTION # 77
You are an experienced ISMS audit team leader guiding an auditor in training. You decide to test her knowledge of follow-up audits by asking her a series of questions. Here are your questions and her answers.
Which four of your questions has she answered correctly?

• A. Q: Should a follow-up audit seek to identify new nonconformities? A:YES
• B. Q: Should the outcome from a follow-up audit be reported to the audit team leader who carried out the audit at which the NCs were originally identified? A:YES
• C. Q: Should follow-up audits seek to ensure nonconformities have been effectively addressed? A:YES
• D. Q: Are follow-up audits required for all audits? A:No
• E. Q: Should the outcome from a follow-up audit be reported to the audit client? A:No
• F. Q: Could an outcome from a follow-up audit be another follow-up audit if required? A:YES
• G. Q: Is the purpose of a follow-up audit to verify the completion of corrections, corrective actions, and opportunities for improvement? A:YES
• H. Q: Should follow-up audits consider agreed opportunities for improvement as well as corrective action?
  A:No

Answer: C,D,F,G

Explanation:
Based on the understanding of follow-up audits, especially in the context of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) and the guidelines provided by ISO 19011:2018, here are the four questions from your list that the auditor in training has answered correctly:
B: Q: Should follow-up audits seek to ensure nonconformities have been effectively addressed? A: YES This is correct. The primary purpose of follow-up audits is to verify that nonconformities identified in previous audits have been effectively addressed and the corrective actions taken are suitable and effective.
D: Q: Is the purpose of a follow-up audit to verify the completion of corrections, corrective actions, and opportunities for improvement? A: YES Yes, the follow-up audit aims to verify the completion and effectiveness of corrections and corrective actions. It may also consider the implementation of opportunities for improvement identified during the initial audit.
E: Q: Are follow-up audits required for all audits? A: NO This is correct. Follow-up audits are not automatically required for all audits. They are typically conducted when nonconformities or other significant issues were identified in an earlier audit and there's a need to verify the implementation and effectiveness of the corrective actions.
H: Q: Could an outcome from a follow-up audit be another follow-up audit if required? A: YES Yes, this is a possible outcome. If the follow-up audit finds that the corrective actions have not been fully effective, or if new issues are identified, it may be necessary to conduct another follow-up audit.
The other responses provided by the auditor in training require some clarification or correction. For instance, while a follow-up audit primarily focuses on previously identified nonconformities and corrective actions, it can still identify new nonconformities if observed (A). Opportunities for improvement are generally considered in the scope of regular audits more so than in follow-up audits, which are more narrowly focused on corrective actions (C). Also, the outcomes of follow-up audits should typically be reported to both the audit team leader and the audit client (F and G), ensuring transparency and accountability.
The four questions that the auditor in training has answered correctly are B, D, E, and H. These questions and answers are consistent with the definition and purpose of a follow-up audit as specified in ISO 19011:2018, Clause 6.712. A follow-up audit is conducted to verify the completion and effectiveness of corrective actions taken as a result of a previous audit (B, D). Follow-up audits are not mandatory for all audits, but they may be required by the audit program, the audit client, or other interested parties (E). The outcome of a follow-up audit may be another follow-up audit if the corrective actions are not satisfactory or not completed within the agreed time frame (H). The other questions and answers are either incorrect or irrelevant. A follow-up audit should not seek to identify new nonconformities, as this is not its objective (A). Follow-up audits should consider agreed opportunities for improvement as well as corrective actions, as they are both outputs of a previous audit . The outcome of a follow-up audit should be reported to the audit client, as well as to other relevant parties, such as the audit team leader who carried out the previous audit (F, G).

NEW QUESTION # 78
CEO sends a mail giving his views on the status of the company and the company's future strategy and the CEO's vision and the employee's part in it. The mail should be classified as

• A. Internal Mail
• B. Restricted Mail
• C. Public Mail
• D. Confidential Mail

Answer: A

Explanation:
The mail sent by the CEO giving his views on the status of the company and the company's future strategy and the CEO's vision and the employee's part in it should be classified as internal mail. Internal mail is a type of classification that indicates that the information is intended for internal use only, and should not be disclosed to external parties without authorization. The mail sent by the CEO contains information that is relevant and important for the employees of the company, but may not be suitable for public disclosure, as it may contain sensitive or confidential information about the company's performance, goals, or plans. References: : CQI & IRCA ISO 27001:2022 Lead Auditor Course Handbook, page 34. : CQI & IRCA ISO 27001:2022 Lead Auditor Course Handbook, page 37. : [ISO/IEC 27001 LEAD AUDITOR - PECB], page 14.

NEW QUESTION # 79
You are an audit team leader who has just completed a third-party audit of a mobile telecommunication provider. You are preparing your audit report and are just about to complete a section headed 'confidentiality'.
An auditor in training on your team asks you if there are any circumstances under which the confidential report can be released to third parties.
Which four of the following responses are false?

• A. If the third party has gained a legal notice for us to disclose the report then we must do so. In all such cases we would advise the audit client and, as appropriate, the auditee
• B. The starting position is always that third parties have no automatic right to access an audit report
• C. The report can be released to third parties but only with the explicit, prior approval of the audit client
• D. Any auditor employed by the auditing organisation can access the audit report
• E. Although we advise the client the report is confidential we can decide to release it to third parties if we feel this is justified. We would always tell the client afterwards
• F. Subcontracted auditors are considered to be third parties regarding confidentiality and are therefore typically bound by confidentiality agreements
• G. There are no circumstances under which the report can be released to a third party. Confidential means confidential and releasing the document would be a breach of trust
• H. Our duty of confidentiality is not something that lasts forever. As a certification body, we can decide how long we wish to keep reports confidential. After this, they can be accessed by third parties making a subject access request

Answer: D,E,F,H

Explanation:
Explanation
The audit report is a confidential document that contains sensitive information about the auditee's ISMS and its performance. The audit team has a duty to protect the confidentiality of the audit report and only disclose it to authorized parties, such as the audit client, the certification body, and the accreditation body. Therefore, the following responses are false:
A: The audit team cannot decide to release the report to third parties without the consent of the audit client, as this would breach the confidentiality agreement and the audit code of conduct. The audit team should always inform the audit client before disclosing the report to any third party, and obtain their explicit, prior approval.
F: Not every auditor employed by the auditing organization can access the audit report, as this would violate the principle of need-to-know. Only auditors who are involved in the audit process, such as the audit team leader, the audit team members, the audit programme manager, and the certification decision maker, can access the audit report. Other auditors who are not related to the audit have no legitimate reason to access the report, and should be prevented from doing so by appropriate security measures.
G: The duty of confidentiality does not expire after a certain period of time, as this would compromise the trust and integrity of the audit process. The audit report remains confidential indefinitely, unless there is a legal or contractual obligation to disclose it, or the audit client agrees to release it. Third parties cannot access the audit report by making a subject access request, as this would infringe the privacy and data protection rights of the audit client and the auditee.
H: Subcontracted auditors are not considered to be third parties regarding confidentiality, as they are part of the audit team and have a contractual relationship with the auditing organization. Subcontracted auditors are typically bound by the same confidentiality agreement and audit code of conduct as the employed auditors, and have the same rights and responsibilities to access and protect the audit report.

NEW QUESTION # 80
You are performing an ISMS initial certification audit at a residential nursing home that provides healthcare services. The next step in your audit plan is to conduct the closing meeting. During the final audit team meeting, as an audit team leader, you agree to report 2 minor nonconformities and 1 opportunity for improvement as below:

Select one option of the recommendation to the audit programme manager you are going to advise to the auditee at the closing meeting.

• A. Recommend certification after your approval of the proposed corrective action plan Recommend that the findings can be closed out at a surveillance audit in 1 year
• B. Recommend that a full scope re-audit is required within 6 months
• C. Recommend that a partial audit is required within 3 months
• D. Recommend that an unannounced audit is carried out at a future date
• E. Recommend certification immediately

Answer: A

Explanation:
According to ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015, which specifies the requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems, clause 9.4.9 requires the certification body to make a certification decision based on the information obtained during the audit and any other relevant information1. The certification body should also consider the effectiveness of the corrective actions taken by the auditee to address any nonconformities identified during the audit1. Therefore, when making a recommendation to the audit programme manager, an ISMS auditor should consider the nature and severity of the nonconformities and the proposed corrective actions.
Based on the scenario above, the auditor should recommend certification after their approval of the proposed corrective action plan and recommend that the findings can be closed out at a surveillance audit in 1 year. The auditor should provide the following justification for their recommendation:
* Justification: This recommendation is appropriate because it reflects the fact that the auditee has only two minor nonconformities and one opportunity for improvement, which do not indicate a significant or systemic failure of their ISMS. A minor nonconformity is defined as a failure to achieve one or more requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 or a situation which raises significant doubt about the ability of an ISMS process to achieve its intended output, but does not affect its overall effectiveness or conformity2. An opportunity for improvement is defined as a suggestion for improvement beyond what is required by ISO/IEC 27001:20222. Therefore, these findings do not prevent or preclude certification, as long as they are addressed by appropriate corrective actions within a reasonable time frame. The auditor should approve the proposed corrective action plan before recommending certification, to ensure that it is realistic, achievable, and effective. The auditor should also recommend that the findings can be closed out at a surveillance audit in 1 year, to verify that the corrective actions have been implemented and are working as intended.
The other options are not valid recommendations for the audit programme manager, as they are either too lenient or too strict for the given scenario. For example:
* Recommend certification immediately: This option is not valid because it implies that the auditor ignores or accepts the nonconformities, which is contrary to the audit principles and objectives of ISO
19011:20182, which provides guidelines for auditing management systems. It also contradicts the requirement of ISO/IEC 17021-1:20151, which requires the certification body to consider the effectiveness of the corrective actions taken by the auditee before making a certification decision.
* Recommend that a full scope re-audit is required within 6 months: This option is not valid because it implies that the auditor overreacts or exaggerates the nonconformities, which is contrary to the audit principles and objectives of ISO 19011:20182. It also contradicts the requirement of ISO/IEC
17021-1:20151, which requires the certification body to determine whether a re-audit is necessary based on the nature and extent of nonconformities and other relevant factors. A full scope re-audit is usually reserved for major nonconformities or multiple minor nonconformities that indicate a serious or widespread failure of an ISMS.
* Recommend that an unannounced audit is carried out at a future date: This option is not valid because it implies that the auditor distrusts or doubts the auditee's commitment or capability to implement corrective actions, which is contrary to the audit principles and objectives of ISO 19011:20182. It also contradicts the requirement of ISO/IEC 17021-1:20151, which requires the certification body to conduct unannounced audits only under certain conditions, such as when there are indications of serious problems with an ISMS or when required by sector-specific schemes.
* Recommend that a partial audit is required within 3 months: This option is not valid because it implies that the auditor imposes or prescribes a specific time frame or scope for verifying corrective actions, which is contrary to the audit principles and objectives of ISO 19011:20182. It also contradicts the requirement of ISO/IEC 17021-1:20151, which requires the certification body to determine whether a partial audit is necessary based on the nature and extent of nonconformities and other relevant factors. A partial audit may be appropriate for minor nonconformities, but the time frame and scope should be agreed upon with the auditee and based on the proposed corrective action plan.

NEW QUESTION # 81
You are the audit team leader conducting a third-party audit of an online insurance organisation. During Stage
1, you found that the organisation took a very cautious risk approach and included all the information security controls in ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Appendix A in their Statement of Applicability.
During the Stage 2 audit, your audit team found that there was no evidence of the implementation of the three controls (5.3 Segregation of duties, 6.1 Screening, 7.12 Cabling security) shown in the extract from the Statement of Applicability. No risk treatment plan was found.

Select three options for the actions you would expect the auditee to take in response to a nonconformity against clause 6.1.3.e of ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

• A. Revise the relevant content in the Statement of Applicability to justify their exclusion.
• B. Compile plans for the periodic assessment of the risks associated with the controls.
• C. Revisit the risk assessment process relating to the three controls.
• D. Remove the three controls from the Statement of Applicability.
• E. Allocate responsibility for producing evidence to prove to auditors that the controls are implemented.
• F. Implement the appropriate risk treatment for each of the applicable controls.
• G. Undertake a survey of customers to find out if the controls are needed by them.
• H. Incorporate written procedures for the controls into the organisation's Security Manual.

Answer: A,C,F

Explanation:
According to the PECB Candidate Handbook for ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor, the auditee should take the following actions in response to a nonconformity against clause 6.1.3.e of ISO/IEC 27001:20221:
* Implement the appropriate risk treatment for each of the applicable controls, as this is the main requirement of clause 6.1.3.e and the objective of the risk treatment process2.
* Revise the relevant content in the Statement of Applicability to justify their exclusion, as this is the expected output of the risk treatment process and the evidence of the risk-based decisions3.
* Revisit the risk assessment process relating to the three controls, as this is the input for the risk treatment process and the source of identifying the risks and the controls4.
The other options are not correct because:
* Allocating responsibility for producing evidence to prove to auditors that the controls are implemented is not a valid action, as the audit team already found that there was no evidence of the implementation of the three controls.
* Compiling plans for the periodic assessment of the risks associated with the controls is not a valid action, as this is part of the risk monitoring and review process, not the risk treatment process5.
* Incorporating written procedures for the controls into the organisation's Security Manual is not a valid action, as this is part of the documentation and operation of the ISMS, not the risk treatment process.
* Removing the three controls from the Statement of Applicability is not a valid action, as this is not a sufficient justification for their exclusion and does not reflect the risk treatment process.
* Undertaking a survey of customers to find out if the controls are needed by them is not a valid action, as this is not a relevant criterion for the risk assessment and treatment process, which should be based on the organisation's own context and objectives.

NEW QUESTION # 82
Which two of the following options are an advantage of using a sampling plan for the audit?

• A. Gives confidence in the audit results
• B. Use of the plan for consecutive audits
• C. Overrules the auditor's instincts
• D. Reduces the audit duration
• E. Implements the audit plan efficiently
• F. Prevents conflict within the audit team

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
A sampling plan for the audit is a method of selecting a representative subset of the audit evidence to evaluate the conformity of the ISMS1. The advantages of using a sampling plan are:
* It reduces the audit duration by focusing on the most relevant and significant aspects of the ISMS2.
* It gives confidence in the audit results by ensuring that the sample is sufficient, reliable, and unbiased3.

NEW QUESTION # 83
What is the worst possible action that an employee may receive for sharing his or her password or access with others?

• A. Termination
• B. The lowest rating on his or her performance assessment
• C. Forced roll off from the project
• D. Three days suspension from work

Answer: A

Explanation:
The worst possible action that an employee may receive for sharing his or her password or access with others is termination, because this is a serious breach of the organization's information security policy and access control policy. Sharing password or access with others may allow unauthorized users to access sensitive or confidential information, or to perform malicious or fraudulent activities on behalf of the employee. The employee should keep his or her password or access confidential and secure, and should not disclose it to anyone under any circumstances.

NEW QUESTION # 84
You are an experienced ISMS audit team leader providing guidance to an auditor in training. She asks you why it is important to have specific criteria relating to the grading of nonconformities.
Which one of the following responses is correct?

• A. Because the establishment and implementation of grading criteria demonstrate a high level of commitment to the corrective action process
• B. Because ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requires it
• C. Because grading criteria will ensure that all auditors score nonconformities in exactly the same way
• D. Because grading criteria provide a common basis for the evaluation of nonconformities across the organization

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
The correct response is A, because grading criteria provide a common basis for the evaluation of nonconformities across the organization. Grading criteria are the rules or standards that define the severity or impact of nonconformities, and help to determine the appropriate corrective actions and follow-up activities.
Grading criteria are important for several reasons, such as:
They ensure consistency and objectivity in the assessment and reporting of nonconformities, and avoid subjective or arbitrary judgments.
They facilitate the communication and understanding of nonconformities among the auditors, the auditees, and the audit clients, and enable the comparison and benchmarking of nonconformities across different processes, functions, or locations.
They support the prioritization and allocation of resources for the resolution of nonconformities, and the monitoring and measurement of the effectiveness of the corrective actions.
They demonstrate the commitment and accountability of the organization to the continual improvement of the ISMS, and the compliance with the ISMS requirements and expectations.

NEW QUESTION # 85
Information has a number of reliability aspects. Reliability is constantly being threatened. Examples of threats are: a cable becomes loose, someone alters information by accident, data is used privately or is falsified.
Which of these examples is a threat to integrity?

• A. a loose cable
• B. System restart
• C. accidental alteration of data
• D. private use of data

Answer: C

Explanation:
A threat to integrity is anything that can compromise the accuracy, completeness or authenticity of information. Accidental alteration of data is an example of such a threat, as it can cause information to be incorrect or inconsistent. A loose cable, a system restart or a private use of data are not threats to integrity, but rather to availability or confidentiality. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 defines integrity as "property of accuracy and completeness" (see clause 3.24).

NEW QUESTION # 86
Stages of Information

• A. creation, evolution, maintenance, use, disposition
• B. creation, use, disposition, maintenance, evolution
• C. creation, distribution, maintenance, disposition, use
• D. creation, distribution, use, maintenance, disposition

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
The stages of information are creation, distribution, use, maintenance, and disposition. These are the phases that information goes through during its lifecycle, from the moment it is generated to the moment it is destroyed or archived. Each stage of information has different security requirements and risks, and should be managed accordingly. Creation, evolution, maintenance, use, and disposition are not the correct stages of information, as evolution is not a distinct stage, but a process that can occur in any stage. Creation, use, disposition, maintenance, and evolution are not the correct stages of information, as they are not in the right order. Creation, distribution, maintenance, disposition, and use are not the correct stages of information, as they are not in the right order.

Explanation:
A group of black text Description automatically generated

According to ISO 27001:2022, the standard for information security management systems (ISMS), the correct sequence for the information security risk assessment process is as follows:
Establish information security criteria
Identify the information security risks
Analyse the information security risks
Evaluate the information security risks
The first step is to establish the information security criteria, which include the risk assessment methodology, the risk acceptance criteria, and the risk evaluation criteria. These criteria define how the organization will perform the risk assessment, what level of risk is acceptable, and how the risks will be compared and prioritized.
The second step is to identify the information security risks, which involve identifying the assets, threats, vulnerabilities, and existing controls that are relevant to the ISMS. The organization should also identify the potential consequences and likelihood of each risk scenario.
The third step is to analyse the information security risks, which involve estimating the level of risk for each risk scenario based on the criteria established in the first step. The organization should also consider the sources of uncertainty and the confidence level of the risk estimation.
The fourth step is to evaluate the information security risks, which involve comparing the estimated risk levels with the risk acceptance criteria and determining whether the risks are acceptable or need treatment. The organization should also prioritize the risks based on the risk evaluation criteria and the objectives of the ISMS.

NEW QUESTION # 88
You are conducting an ISMS audit in the despatch department of an international logistics organisation that provides shipping services to large organisations including local hospitals and government offices. Parcels typically contain pharmaceutical products, biological samples, and documents such as passports and driving licences. You note that the company records show a very large number of returned items with causes including mis-addressed labels and, in 15% of company cases, two or more labels for different addresses for the one package. You are interviewing the Shipping Manager (SM).
You: Are items checked before being dispatched?
SH: Any obviously damaged items are removed by the duty staff before being dispatched, but the small profit margin makes it uneconomic to implement a formal checking process.
You: What action is taken when items are returned?
SM: Most of these contracts are relatively low value, therefore it has been decided that it is easier and more convenient to simply reprint the label and re-send individual parcels than it is to implement an investigation.
You raise a nonconformity. Referencing the scenario, which six of the following Appendix A controls would you expect the auditee to have implemented when you conduct the follow-up audit?

• A. 5.6 Contact with special interest groups
• B. 7.4 Physical security monitoring
• C. 6.4 Disciplinary process
• D. 8.12 Data leakage protection
• E. 5.32 Intellectual property rights
• F. 5.13 Labelling of information
• G. 7.10 Storage media
• H. 8.3 Information access restriction
• I. 6.3 Information security awareness, education, and training
• J. 5.3 Segregation of duties
• K. 5.11 Return of assets

Answer: B,D,F,G,H,I

Explanation:
Explanation
* B. 8.12 Data leakage protection. This is true because the auditee should have implemented measures to prevent unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, such as personal data, medical records, or official documents, that are contained in the parcels. Data leakage protection could include encryption, authentication, access control, logging, and monitoring of data transfers12.
* D. 6.3 Information security awareness, education, and training. This is true because the auditee should have ensured that all employees and contractors involved in the shipping process are aware of the information security policies and procedures, and have received appropriate training on how to handle and protect the information assets in their custody. Information security awareness, education, and training could include induction programmes, periodic refreshers, awareness campaigns, e-learning modules, and feedback mechanisms13.
* E. 7.10 Storage media. This is true because the auditee should have implemented controls to protect the storage media that contain information assets from unauthorized access, misuse, theft, loss, or damage. Storage media could include paper documents, optical disks, magnetic tapes, flash drives, or hard disks14. Storage media controls could include physical locks, encryption, backup, disposal, or destruction14.
* F. 8.3 Information access restriction. This is true because the auditee should have implemented controls to restrict access to information assets based on the principle of least privilege and the need-to-know basis. Information access restriction could include identification, authentication, authorization, accountability, and auditability of users and systems that access information assets15.
* I. 7.4 Physical security monitoring. This is true because the auditee should have implemented controls to monitor the physical security of the premises where information assets are stored or processed. Physical security monitoring could include CCTV cameras, alarms, sensors, guards, or patrols16. Physical security monitoring could help detect and deter unauthorized physical access or intrusion attempts16.
* J. 5.13 Labelling of information. This is true because the auditee should have implemented controls to label information assets according to their classification level and handling instructions. Labelling of information could include markings, tags, stamps, stickers, or barcodes1 . Labelling of information could help identify and protect information assets from unauthorized disclosure or misuse1 .

• E. The organisation's arrangements for information deletion
• F. The organisation's business continuity arrangements
• G. The conducting of verification checks on personnel
• H. How protection against malware is implemented

Answer: A,B,C,G

Explanation:
Explanation
The PEOPLE controls are related to the human aspects of information security, such as roles and responsibilities, awareness and training, screening and contracts, and remote working. The auditor in training should review the following controls:
Confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements (A): These are contractual obligations that bind the employees and contractors of the organisation to protect the confidentiality of the information they handle, especially the data of external clients. The auditor should check if these agreements are signed, updated, and enforced by the organisation. This control is related to clause A.7.2.1 of ISO/IEC
27001:2022.
Information security awareness, education and training : These are activities that aim to enhance the knowledge, skills, and behaviour of the employees and contractors regarding information security. The auditor should check if these activities are planned, implemented, evaluated, and improved by the organisation. This control is related to clause A.7.2.2 of ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
Remote working arrangements (D): These are policies and procedures that govern the information security aspects of working from locations other than the organisation's premises, such as home or public places. The auditor should check if these arrangements are defined, approved, and monitored by the organisation. This control is related to clause A.6.2.1 of ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
The conducting of verification checks on personnel (E): These are background checks that verify the identity, qualifications, and suitability of the employees and contractors who have access to sensitive information or systems. The auditor should check if these checks are conducted, documented, and reviewed by the organisation. This control is related to clause A.7.1.1 of ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
