NEW QUESTION # 19
You are carrying out your first third-party ISMS surveillance audit as an Audit Team Leader. You are presently in the auditee's data centre with another member of your audit team.
You are currently in a large room that is subdivided into several smaller rooms, each of which has a numeric combination lock and swipe card reader on the door. You notice two external contractors using a swipe card and combination number provided by the centre's reception desk to gain access to a client's suite to carry out authorised electrical repairs.
You go to reception and ask to see the door access record for the client's suite. This indicates only one card was swiped. You ask the receptionist and they reply, "yes it's a common problem. We ask everyone to swipe their cards but with contractors especially, one tends to swipe and the rest simply 'tailgate' their way in" but we know who they are from the reception sign-in.
Based on the scenario above which one of the following actions would you now take?

• A. Raise an opportunity for improvement to have a large sign in reception reminding everyone requiring access must use their swipe card at all times
• B. Raise a nonconformity against control A.5.20 'addressing information security in supplier relationships' as information security requirements have not been agreed upon with the supplier
• C. Raise a nonconformity against control A.7.2 'physical entry' as a secure area is not adequately protected
• D. Tell the organisation they must write to their contractors, reminding them of the need to use access cards appropriately
• E. Raise a nonconformity against control A.7.6 'working in secure areas' as security measures for working in secure areas have not been defined
• F. Determine whether any additional effective arrangements are in place to verify individual access to secure areas e.g. CCTV
• G. Take no action. Irrespective of any recommendations, contractors will always act in this way
• H. Raise an opportunity for improvement that contractors must be accompanied at all times when accessing secure facilities

Answer: C

Explanation:
Explanation
According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, which specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS), control A.7.2 requires an organization to implement appropriate physical entry controls to prevent unauthorized access to secure areas1. The organization should define and document the criteria for granting and revoking access rights to secure areas, and should monitor and record the use of such access rights1. Therefore, when auditing the organization's application of control A.7.2, an ISMS auditor should verify that these aspects are met in accordance with the audit criteria.
Based on the scenario above, the auditor should raise a nonconformity against control A.7.2, as the secure area is not adequately protected from unauthorized access. The auditor should provide the following evidence and justification for the nonconformity:
* Evidence: The auditor observed two external contractors using a swipe card and combination number provided by the centre's reception desk to gain access to a client's suite to carry out authorized electrical repairs. The auditor checked the door access record for the client's suite and found that only one card was swiped. The auditor asked the receptionist and was told that it was a common problem that contractors tend to swipe one card and tailgate their way in, but they were known from the reception sign-in.
* Justification: This evidence indicates that the organization has not implemented appropriate physical entry controls to prevent unauthorized access to secure areas, as required by control A.7.2. The organization has not defined and documented the criteria for granting and revoking access rights to secure areas, as there is no verification or authorization process for providing swipe cards and combination numbers to external contractors. The organization has not monitored and recorded the use of access rights to secure areas, as there is no mechanism to ensure that each individual swipes their card and enters their combination number before entering a secure area. The organization has relied on the reception sign-in as a means of identification, which is not sufficient or reliable for ensuring information security.
The other options are not valid actions for auditing control A.7.2, as they are not related to the control or its requirements, or they are not appropriate or effective for addressing the nonconformity. For example:
* Take no action: This option is not valid because it implies that the auditor ignores or accepts the nonconformity, which is contrary to the audit principles and objectives of ISO 19011:20182, which provides guidelines for auditing management systems.
* Raise a nonconformity against control A.5.20 'addressing information security in supplier relationships' as information security requirements have not been agreed upon with the supplier: This option is not valid because it does not address the root cause of the nonconformity, which is related to physical entry controls, not supplier relationships. Control A.5.20 requires an organization to agree on information security requirements with suppliers that may access, process, store, communicate or provide IT infrastructure components for its information assets1. While this control may be relevant for ensuring information security in supplier relationships, it does not address the issue of unauthorized access to secure areas by external contractors.
* Raise a nonconformity against control A.7.6 'working in secure areas' as security measures for working in secure areas have not been defined: This option is not valid because it does not address the root cause of the nonconformity, which is related to physical entry controls, not working in secure areas. Control A.7.6 requires an organization to define and apply security measures for working in secure areas1.
* While this control may be relevant for ensuring information security when working in secure areas, it does not address the issue of unauthorized access to secure areas by external contractors.
* Determine whether any additional effective arrangements are in place to verify individual access to secure areas e.g. CCTV: This option is not valid because it does not address or resolve the nonconformity, but rather attempts to find alternative or compensating controls that may mitigate its impact or likelihood. While additional arrangements such as CCTV may be useful for verifying individual access to secure areas, they do not replace or substitute the requirement for appropriate physical entry controls as specified by control A.7.2.
* Raise an opportunity for improvement that contractors must be accompanied at all times when accessing secure facilities: This option is not valid because it does not address or resolve the nonconformity, but rather suggests a possible improvement action that may prevent or reduce its recurrence or severity.
While accompanying contractors at all times when accessing secure facilities may be a good practice for ensuring information security, it does not replace or substitute the requirement for appropriate physical entry controls as specified by control A.7.2.
* Raise an opportunity for improvement to have a large sign in reception reminding everyone requiring access must use their swipe card at all times: This option is not valid because it does not address or resolve the nonconformity, but rather suggests a possible improvement action that may increase awareness or compliance with the existing controls. While having a large sign in reception reminding everyone requiring access must use their swipe card at all times may be a helpful reminder for ensuring information security, it does not replace or substitute the requirement for appropriate physical entry controls as specified by control A.7.2.
* Tell the organisation they must write to their contractors, reminding them of the need to use access cards appropriately: This option is not valid because it does not address or resolve the nonconformity, but rather instructs the organization to take a corrective action that may not be effective or sufficient for ensuring information security. While writing to contractors, reminding them of the need to use access cards appropriately may be a communication measure for ensuring information security, it does not replace or substitute the requirement for appropriate physical entry controls as specified by control A.7.2.

NEW QUESTION # 20
Which of the following is a preventive security measure?

• A. Storing sensitive information in a data save
• B. Installing logging and monitoring software
• C. Shutting down the Internet connection after an attack

Answer: A

Explanation:
A preventive security measure is a measure that aims to prevent or deter potential incidents from occurring, or to reduce their likelihood or impact. A preventive security measure can be a policy, a procedure, a device, a technique or an action that reduces the exposure to threats and vulnerabilities. Storing sensitive information in a data safe is an example of a preventive security measure, because it protects the information from unauthorized access, disclosure, modification or destruction by physical means, such as theft, fire, flood, etc. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 defines preventive control as "control that modifies risk by avoiding an unwanted incident" (see clause 3.19).

NEW QUESTION # 21
You are an experienced ISMS audit team leader guiding an auditor in training. You are testing her understanding of follow-up audits by asking her a series of questions to which the answer is either "true* or
'false'. Which four of the following questions should the answer be true"'

• A. A follow-up audit may be carried out where nonconformities are major
• B. The outcome of a follow-up audit could be a recommendabon to suspend the client's certification
• C. A follow-up audit is required only in instances where a major nonconformity has been identified
• D. A follow-up audit is required in all instances where nonconformities have been identified
• E. The outcome of a follow-up audit could lower a major nonconformity to minor status
• F. The outcomes of a follow-up audit should be reported to top management and the audit team leader who carried out the audit where the nonconformities were initially identified
• G. A follow-up audit may be carried out where nonconformities are minor
• H. The outcomes of a follow-up audit should be reported to the individual managing the audit programme and the audit client

Answer: A,F,G,H

Explanation:
Explanation
A follow-up audit may be carried out where nonconformities are major. This is true because a major nonconformity is a situation that raises significant doubt about the ability of the organization's management system to achieve its intended results, and therefore requires immediate corrective action. A follow-up audit is necessary to verify the effectiveness of the corrective action and the conformity of the management system12.
A follow-up audit may be carried out where nonconformities are minor. This is true because a minor nonconformity is a situation that does not affect the capability of the management system to achieve its intended results, but represents a deviation from the specified requirements. A follow-up audit may be conducted to check the implementation of the corrective action and the improvement of the management system12.
The outcomes of a follow-up audit should be reported to top management and the audit team leader who carried out the audit where the nonconformities were initially identified. This is true because the top management is responsible for ensuring the effectiveness and continual improvement of the management system, and the audit team leader is accountable for the audit process and the audit conclusions. The follow-up audit report should provide them with objective evidence of the status of the nonconformities and the corrective actions taken by the auditee13.
The outcomes of a follow-up audit should be reported to the individual managing the audit programme and the audit client. This is true because the individual managing the audit programme is responsible for planning, implementing, monitoring and reviewing the audit activities, and the audit client is the organization or person requesting an audit. The follow-up audit report should inform them of the results of the follow-up audit and any changes in the certification status of the auditee13.

NEW QUESTION # 22
A hacker gains access to a web server and reads the credit card numbers stored on that server. Which security principle is violated?

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

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
Confidentiality is one of the security principles that states that only authorized parties should have access to information assets. Confidentiality protects the secrecy and privacy of information from unauthorized disclosure or exposure. A hacker gaining access to a web server and reading the credit card numbers stored on that server violates the confidentiality principle, as he or she is not an authorized party and has access to sensitive information that belongs to others. Therefore, the correct answer is B. References: ISO/IEC
27000:2022, clause 3.8; Defining Security Principles - Pearson IT Certification.

NEW QUESTION # 23

NEW QUESTION # 24
A property of Information that has the ability to prove occurrence of a claimed event.

• A. Electronic chain letters
• B. Accessibility
• C. Availability
• D. Integrity

Answer: D

Explanation:
A property of information that has the ability to prove occurrence of a claimed event is integrity. Integrity is one of the three main objectives of information security, along with confidentiality and availability. Integrity ensures that information and systems are not corrupted, modified, or deleted by unauthorized actions or events. Integrity also implies that information and systems can be verified and validated as authentic and accurate. Electronic chain letters are not a property of information, but a type of spam or hoax message that may contain malicious or misleading content. Availability means that service should be accessible at the required time and usable only by the authorized entity. Accessibility is not a property of information, but a characteristic of usability that refers to how easy it is for users to access and interact with information and systems.

NEW QUESTION # 25
You are performing an ISO 27001 ISMS surveillance audit at a residential nursing home, ABC Healthcare Services. ABC uses a healthcare mobile app designed and maintained by a supplier, WeCare, to monitor residents' well-being. During the audit, you learn that 90% of the residents' family members regularly receive medical device advertisements from WeCare, by email and SMS once a week. The service agreement between ABC and WeCare prohibits the supplier from using residents' personal data. ABC has received many complaints from residents and their family members.
The Service Manager says that the complaints were investigated as an information security incident which found that they were justified.
Corrective actions have been planned and implemented according to the nonconformity and corrective action management procedure.
You write a nonconformity "ABC failed to comply with information security control A.5.34 (Privacy and protection of PII) relating to the personal data of residents' and their family members. A supplier, WeCare, used residents' personal information to send advertisements to family members." Select three options of the corrections and corrective actions listed that you would expect ABC to make in response to the nonconformity.

• A. ABC introduces background checks on information security performance for all suppliers.
• B. ABC confirms that information security control A.5.34 is contained in the Statement of Applicability (SoA).
• C. ABC periodically monitors compliance with all applicable legislation and contractual requirements involving third parties.
• D. ABC trains all staff on the importance of maintaining information security protocols.
• E. ABC asks an ISMS consultant to test the ABC Healthcare mobile app for protection against cyber-crime.
• F. ABC cancels the service agreement with WeCare.
• G. ABC takes legal action against WeCare for breach of contract.
• H. ABC discontinues the use of the ABC Healthcare mobile app.

Answer: A,C,F

Explanation:
Explanation
The three options of the corrections and corrective actions listed that you would expect ABC to make in response to the nonconformity are:
B: ABC cancels the service agreement with WeCare.
E: ABC introduces background checks on information security performance for all suppliers.
F: ABC periodically monitors compliance with all applicable legislation and contractual requirements involving third parties.
B: This option is a possible correction and corrective action that ABC could take to address the nonconformity. A correction is the action taken to eliminate a detected nonconformity, while a corrective action is the action taken to eliminate the cause of a nonconformity and to prevent its recurrence1. By cancelling the service agreement with WeCare, ABC could stop the unauthorized use of residents' personal data and protect their privacy and rights. This could also prevent further complaints and legal issues from the residents and their family members. However, this option may also have some drawbacks, such as the loss of a service provider, the need to find an alternative solution, and the potential impact on the residents' well-being.
E: This option is a possible corrective action that ABC could take to address the nonconformity. By introducing background checks on information security performance for all suppliers, ABC could ensure that they select and work with reliable and trustworthy partners who respect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information they handle. This could also help ABC to comply with information security control A.15.1.1 (Information security policy for supplier relationships), which requires the organisation to agree and document information security requirements for mitigating the risks associated with supplier access to the organisation's assets2.
F: This option is a possible corrective action that ABC could take to address the nonconformity. By periodically monitoring compliance with all applicable legislation and contractual requirements involving third parties, ABC could verify that the suppliers are fulfilling their obligations and responsibilities regarding information security. This could also help ABC to comply with information security control A.18.1.1 (Identification of applicable legislation and contractual requirements), which requires the organisation to identify, document, and keep up to date the relevant legislative, regulatory, contractual, and other requirements to which the organisation is subject3.

NEW QUESTION # 26
During a third-party certification audit, you are presented with a list of issues by an auditee. Which four of the following constitute 'internal' issues in the context of a management system to ISO 27001:2022?

• A. Poor morale as a result of staff holidays being reduced
• B. A rise in interest rates in response to high inflation
• C. A fall in productivity linked to outdated production equipment
• D. Poor levels of staff competence as a result of cuts in training expenditure
• E. Increased absenteeism as a result of poor management
• F. A reduction in grants as a result of a change in government policy
• G. Higher labour costs as a result of an aging population
• H. Inability to source raw materials due to government sanctions

Answer: A,C,D,E

Explanation:
Explanation
According to ISO 27001:2022 clause 4.1, the organisation shall determine external and internal issues that are relevant to its purpose and that affect its ability to achieve the intended outcome(s) of its information security management system (ISMS)12 External issues are factors outside the organisation that it cannot control, but can influence or adapt to. They include political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental factors that may affect the organisation's information security objectives, risks, and opportunities12 Internal issues are factors within the organisation that it can control or change. They include the organisation's structure, culture, values, policies, objectives, strategies, capabilities, resources, processes, activities, relationships, and performance that may affect the organisation's information security management system12 Therefore, the following issues are considered 'internal' in the context of a management system to ISO
27001:2022:
Poor levels of staff competence as a result of cuts in training expenditure: This is an internal issue because it relates to the organisation's capability, resource, and process of developing and maintaining the competence of its personnel involved in the ISMS. The organisation can control or change its training expenditure and its impact on staff competence12 Poor morale as a result of staff holidays being reduced: This is an internal issue because it relates to the organisation's culture, value, and relationship with its employees. The organisation can control or change its staff holiday policy and its impact on staff morale12 Increased absenteeism as a result of poor management: This is an internal issue because it relates to the organisation's performance, structure, and accountability of its management. The organisation can control or change its management practices and its impact on staff absenteeism12 A fall in productivity linked to outdated production equipment: This is an internal issue because it relates to the organisation's capability, resource, and process of ensuring the availability and suitability of its production equipment. The organisation can control or change its equipment maintenance and upgrade and its impact on productivity12 The following issues are considered 'external' in the context of a management system to ISO 27001:2022:
Higher labour costs as a result of an aging population: This is an external issue because it relates to the social and demographic factor that affects the availability and cost of labour in the market. The organisation cannot control or change the aging population, but can influence or adapt to its impact on labour costs12 A rise in interest rates in response to high inflation: This is an external issue because it relates to the economic and monetary factor that affects the cost and availability of capital in the market. The organisation cannot control or change the interest rates or inflation, but can influence or adapt to its impact on capital costs12 A reduction in grants as a result of a change in government policy: This is an external issue because it relates to the political and legal factor that affects the availability and conditions of public funding for the organisation. The organisation cannot control or change the government policy, but can influence or adapt to its impact on grants12 Inability to source raw materials due to government sanctions: This is an external issue because it relates to the political and legal factor that affects the availability and cost of raw materials in the market. The organisation cannot control or change the government sanctions, but can influence or adapt to its impact on raw materials12 References:

NEW QUESTION # 27
In order to take out a fire insurance policy, an administration office must determine the value of the data that it manages.
Which factor is [b]not[/b] important for determining the value of data for an organization?

• A. The content of data.
• B. The indispensability of data for the business processes.
• C. The importance of the business processes that make use of the data.
• D. The degree to which missing, incomplete or incorrect data can be recovered.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Explanation
The content of data is not an important factor for determining the value of data for an organization. The content of data refers to the representation or format of data, such as text, numbers, images, audio, video, etc.
The content of data can change depending on how it is processed, stored, or presented, but the value of data is derived from its meaning and usefulness for the organization. Therefore, the content of data is not relevant for taking out a fire insurance policy, as it does not reflect the potential loss or damage that the organization would suffer if the data was destroyed by fire. The other factors, such as the degree of recoverability, the indispensability, and the importance of data for the business processes, are important for determining the value of data for an organization. These factors indicate how critical the data is for the organization's operations, performance, and competitiveness, and how difficult or costly it would be to restore or replace the data in case of a fire. Therefore, the correct answer is A. References: Putting a value on data - PwC UK, page 3; What is Data Value? How to Define the Value of Your Data.

NEW QUESTION # 28
What is the relationship between data and information?

• A. Data is structured information.
• B. Information is the meaning and value assigned to a collection of data.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Explanation
The relationship between data and information is that information is the meaning and value assigned to a collection of data. Data is a set of facts, figures, symbols or characters that can be processed by a computer or other means. Data by itself has no inherent meaning or context. Information is data that has been processed, organized, interpreted or presented in a way that makes it useful or meaningful for a specific purpose or audience. Information can be used to convey knowledge, support decision making or communicate messages.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 defines data as "representation of facts, concepts or instructions in a formalized manner suitable for communication, interpretation or processing by humans or by automatic means" (see clause 3.12) and information as "meaningful data" (see clause 3.25).

NEW QUESTION # 29
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. Compliance
• C. Availability
• D. Confidentiality

Answer: D

Explanation:
Confidentiality is one of the Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability (CIA) principles of information security that states that only authorized parties should have access to information assets. Confidentiality protects the secrecy and privacy of information from unauthorized disclosure or exposure. A hacker gaining access to a web server and viewing a file containing credit card numbers violates the confidentiality principle, as he or she is not an authorized party and has access to sensitive information that belongs to others. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Reference: ISO/IEC 27000:2022, clause 3.8; Defining Security Principles - Pearson IT Certification.

NEW QUESTION # 30
In the event of an Information security incident, system users' roles and responsibilities are to be observed, except:

• A. Make the information security incident details known to all employees
• B. Preserve evidence if necessary
• C. Report suspected or known incidents upon discovery through the Servicedesk
• D. Cooperate with investigative personnel during investigation if needed

Answer: A

Explanation:
Explanation
The role and responsibility that system users should not observe in the event of an information security incident is D: make the information security incident details known to all employees. This is not a proper role or responsibility for system users, as it could cause unnecessary panic, confusion or speculation among employees who are not involved in the incident response process. It could also compromise the confidentiality and integrity of the incident information, which could be sensitive or confidential in nature. Making the information security incident details known to all employees could also violate the information security policies and procedures of the organization, which may require a certain level of discretion and confidentiality when dealing with incidents. The other roles and responsibilities are correct, as they describe what system users should do in the event of an information security incident, such as reporting the incident to the Servicedesk (A), preserving evidence if necessary (B), and cooperating with investigative personnel if needed
. These roles and responsibilities help to ensure a quick, effective and orderly response to information security incidents. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requires the organization to implement procedures for reporting and managing information security incidents (see clause A.16.1). References: CQI & IRCA Certified ISO/IEC

Which of the following is a possible event that can have a disruptive effect on the reliability of information?

• A. Dependency
• B. Threat
• C. Risk
• D. Vulnerability

Answer: B

Explanation:
A possible event that can have a disruptive effect on the reliability of information is a threat. A threat is anything that has the potential to harm an asset or its protection, such as a natural disaster, a human error, a malicious attack, etc. A threat can exploit a vulnerability or weakness in an asset or its protection and cause an adverse impact on the confidentiality, integrity or availability of information. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 defines threat as "potential cause of an unwanted incident, which can result in harm to a system or organization" (see clause 3.48).

NEW QUESTION # 32
Which of the following does a lack of adequate security controls represent?

• A. Impact
• B. Threat
• C. Asset
• D. Vulnerability

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
A lack of adequate security controls represents a vulnerability, which is a weakness or flaw in an asset or its protection that can be exploited by a threat. A vulnerability can increase the likelihood or impact of a security incident, and therefore should be identified and treated as part of the risk management process. ISO/IEC
27001:2022 defines vulnerability as "the absence or weakness of a safeguard that could be exploited by a threat source" (see clause 3.49).

NEW QUESTION # 33
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. System restart
• B. private use of data
• C. accidental alteration of data
• D. a loose cable

Answer: C

Explanation:
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 # 37
You are performing an ISMS audit at a residential nursing home that provides healthcare services and are reviewing the Software Code Management (SCM) system. You found a total of 10 user accounts on the SCM.
You confirm that one of the users, Scott, resigned 9-months
ago. The SCM System Administrator confirmed Scott's last check-out of the source code was found 1 month ago. He was using one of the uthorized desktops from the local network in a secure area.
You check with the user de-registration procedure which states "Managers have to make sure of deregistration of the user account and authorisation immediately from the relevant ICT system and/or equipment after resignation approval." There was no deregistration record for user Scott.
The IT Security Manager explains that Scott still comes back to the office every month after he resigned to provide support on source code maintenance. That's why his account on SCM still exists.
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 Scott can access the employee's desktop and local network. (Relevant to control A.5.15)
• B. Collect more evidence from Scott's background verification checks performed by the human resource department under the new employment relationship. (Relevant to control A.6.1)
• C. Collect more evidence on how the organization pays for Scott's source code maintenance support service. (Relevant to control A.6.2)
• D. Collect more evidence of why Scott resigned and whether his re-engagement represents a conflict of interest. (relevant to control A.5.3)
• E. Collect more evidence on how the transition of Scott from full-time to part-time employment was managed (relevant to control A.6.5)
• F. Collect more evidence on how access controls are periodically reviewed to maintain security (Relevant to control A.5.35)
• G. Collect more evidence on where Scott kept the source code that he checked out and how it was secured.
  (Relevant to control A.8.4)
• H. Collect more evidence on how Scott can access the secure area. (Relevant to control A.8.4)

Answer: C,D,E

Explanation:
Explanation
The options B, D, and G are not valid audit trails because they are not directly related to the ISMS requirements or the audit criteria. They are more relevant to the human resource management or the contractual arrangements of the organization, which are outside the scope of the ISMS audit. The other options are valid audit trails because they can provide evidence of how the organization implements and maintains the ISMS controls related to access control, secure areas, and information security aspects of business continuity management.

NEW QUESTION # 38
Which two of the following statements are true?

• A. The role of a certification body auditor involves evaluating the organisation's processes for ensuring compliance with their legal requirements
• B. Curing a third-party audit, the auditor evaluates how the organisation ensures that 4 6 made aware of changes to the legal requirements
• C. As part of a certification body audit the auditor is resporable for verifying the organisation's legal compliance status

Answer: A,B

Explanation:
Explanation
The following statements are true:
The role of a certification body auditor involves evaluating the organization's processes for ensuring compliance with their legal requirements. This is part of the auditor's responsibility to assess the effectiveness and conformity of the organization's ISMS against the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard and the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
During a third-party audit, the auditor evaluates how the organization ensures that they are made aware of changes to the legal requirements. This is part of the auditor's responsibility to verify that the organization has established and maintained a process for identifying and updating their legal and other requirements related to information security. The following statement is false:
As part of a certification body audit, the auditor is responsible for verifying the organization's legal compliance status. This is not true, as the auditor is not authorized or qualified to provide legal advice or judgment on the organization's compliance status. The auditor can only report on the evidence of compliance or noncompliance observed during the audit, but the ultimate responsibility for ensuring legal compliance lies with the organization.

NEW QUESTION # 39
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 of the business continuity management process. During the audit, you learned that the organisation activated one of the business continuity plans (BCPs) to make sure the nursing service continued during the recent pandemic. You ask Service Manager to explain how the organisation manages information security during the business continuity management process.
The Service Manager presents the nursing service continuity plan for a pandemic and summarises the process as follows:
Stop the admission of any NEW residents.
70% of administration staff and 30% of medical staff will work from home.
Regular staff self-testing including submitting a negative test report 1 day BEFORE they come to the office.
Install ABC's healthcare mobile app, tracking their footprint and presenting a GREEN Health Status QR-Code for checking on the spot.
You ask the Service Manager how to prevent non-relevant family members or interested parties from accessing residents' personal data when staff work from home. The Service Manager cannot answer and suggests the n" Security Manager should help with that.
You would like to further investigate other areas to collect more audit evidence Select three options that will be in your audit trail.

• A. Collect more evidence on what resources the organisation provides to support the staff working from home. (Relevant to clause 7.1)
• B. Collect more evidence on how the organisation performs a business risk assessment to evaluate how fast the existing residents can be discharged from the nursing home. (Relevant to clause 6)
• C. Collect more evidence on how the organisation manages information security on mobile devices and during teleworking (Relevant to control A.6.7)
• D. Collect more evidence on how the organisation makes sure only staff with a negative test result can enter the organisation (Relevant to control A.7.2)
• E. Collect more evidence by interviewing more staff about their feeling about working from home. (Relevant to clause 4.2)
• F. Collect more evidence on how and when the Business Continuity Wan has been tested. (Relevant to control A.5.29)

Answer: C,D,F

Explanation:
According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, which specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS), control A.5.29 requires an organization to establish and maintain a business continuity management process to ensure the continued availability of information and information systems at the required level following disruptive incidents1. The organization should identify and prioritize critical information assets and processes, assess the risks and impacts of disruptive incidents, develop and implement business continuity plans (BCPs), test and review the BCPs, and ensure that relevant parties are aware of their roles and responsibilities1. Therefore, when verifying the information security of the business continuity management process, an ISMS auditor should verify that these aspects are met in accordance with the audit criteria.
Three options that will be in the audit trail for verifying control A.5.29 are:
Collect more evidence on how the organisation manages information security on mobile devices and during teleworking (Relevant to control A.6.7): This option is relevant because it can provide evidence of how the organization has implemented appropriate controls to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information and information systems when staff work from home using mobile devices, such as laptops, tablets or smartphones. This is related to control A.6.7, which requires an organization to establish a policy and procedures for teleworking and use of mobile devices1.
Collect more evidence on how and when the Business Continuity Plan has been tested (Relevant to control A.5.29): This option is relevant because it can provide evidence of how the organization has tested and reviewed the BCPs to ensure their effectiveness and suitability for different scenarios, such as a pandemic. This is related to control A.5.29, which requires an organization to test and review the BCPs at planned intervals or when significant changes occur1.
Collect more evidence on how the organisation makes sure only staff with a negative test result can enter the organisation (Relevant to control A.7.2): This option is relevant because it can provide evidence of how the organization has implemented appropriate controls to prevent or reduce the risk of infection or transmission of diseases among staff or residents, such as requiring regular staff self-testing and using a health status app. This is related to control A.7.2, which requires an organization to ensure that all employees and contractors are aware of information security threats and concerns, their responsibilities and liabilities, and are equipped to support organizational policies and procedures in this respect1.
The other options are not relevant to verifying control A.5.29, as they are not related to the control or its requirements. For example:
Collect more evidence by interviewing more staff about their feeling about working from home (Relevant to clause 4.2): This option is not relevant because it does not provide evidence of how the organization has established and maintained a business continuity management process or ensured the continued availability of information and information systems following disruptive incidents. It may be related to clause 4.2, which requires an organization to understand the needs and expectations of interested parties, but not specifically to control A.5.29.
Collect more evidence on what resources the organisation provides to support the staff working from home (Relevant to clause 7.1): This option is not relevant because it does not provide evidence of how the organization has established and maintained a business continuity management process or ensured the continued availability of information and information systems following disruptive incidents. It may be related to clause 7.1, which requires an organization to determine and provide the resources needed for its ISMS, but not specifically to control A.5.29.
Collect more evidence on how the organisation performs a business risk assessment to evaluate how fast the existing residents can be discharged from the nursing home (Relevant to clause 6): This option is not relevant because it does not provide evidence of how the organization has established and maintained a business continuity management process or ensured the continued availability of information and information systems following disruptive incidents. It may be related to clause 6, which requires an organization to plan actions to address risks and opportunities for its ISMS, but not specifically to control A.5.29.

NEW QUESTION # 40
What type of measure involves the stopping of possible consequences of security incidents?

• A. Detective
• B. Repressive
• C. Preventive
• D. Corrective

Answer: B

Explanation:
Explanation
A repressive measure is a type of measure that involves the stopping of possible consequences of security incidents. A security incident is an event that compromises the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information assets3. A repressive measure is a measure that aims to prevent or reduce the harm caused by a security incident after it has occurred. Examples of repressive measures include blocking malicious IP addresses, revoking user access rights, isolating infected systems, or restoring data from backups4. Repressive measures are different from preventive measures, which are measures that aim to avoid or reduce the likelihood of a security incident before it occurs. Examples of preventive measures include installing antivirus software, enforcing password policies, encrypting sensitive data, or conducting security awareness training4.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. References: ISO/IEC 27000:2022, clause 3.25; Lepide.

NEW QUESTION # 41
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. Any auditor employed by the auditing organisation can access the audit report
• B. The report can be released to third parties but only with the explicit, prior approval of the audit client
• C. The starting position is always that third parties have no automatic right to access an audit report
• D. 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
• E. 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
• F. 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
• G. Subcontracted auditors are considered to be third parties regarding confidentiality and are therefore typically bound by confidentiality agreements
• H. 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

Answer: A,D,E,G

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 # 42
Objectives, criteria, and scope are critical features of a third-party ISMS audit. Which two issues are audit objectives?

• A. Review organisation efficiency
• B. Evaluate customer processes and functions
• C. Determine the scope of the ISMS
• D. Confirm sites operating the ISMS
• E. Assess conformity with ISO/IEC 27001 requirements
• F. Fulfil the audit plan

Answer: D,E

Explanation:
Explanation
Audit objectives are the specific purposes or goals that the customer or the certification body wants to achieve through the audit. They define what the audit intends to accomplish and provide the basis for planning and conducting the audit. Audit objectives may vary depending on the type, scope, and criteria of the audit, but they should be clear, measurable, and achievable.
Some examples of audit objectives for a third-party ISMS audit are:
* Assess conformity with ISO/IEC 27001 requirements: This objective means that the audit aims to verify that the organisation's ISMS meets the requirements of the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, which specifies the best practices for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an information security management system. The audit will evaluate the organisation's ISMS documentation, processes, controls, and performance against the standard's clauses and annex A controls.
* Confirm sites operating the ISMS: This objective means that the audit aims to confirm that the organisation's ISMS covers all the relevant sites or locations where the organisation operates or provides its services. The audit will verify that the scope of the ISMS is accurate and consistent with the organisation's context, objectives, and risks.
The other phrases are not audit objectives, but rather:
* Evaluate customer processes and functions: This is not an audit objective, but rather a possible audit criterion or a requirement that the organisation's processes and functions should meet. The audit criterion is the reference against which the audit evidence is compared to determine conformity or nonconformity. The audit criterion may include ISO/IEC 27001 requirements, customer requirements, or other applicable standards or regulations.
* Fulfil the audit plan: This is not an audit objective, but rather a task or an activity that the auditor performs during the audit. The audit plan is a document that describes the arrangements and details of the audit, such as the objectives, scope, criteria, schedule, roles, and responsibilities. The auditor should follow and fulfil the audit plan to ensure that the audit is conducted effectively and efficiently.
* Determine the scope of the ISMS: This is not an audit objective, but rather a prerequisite or an input for conducting the audit. The scope of the ISMS is the extent and boundaries of the information security management system within the organisation. It defines what processes, activities, locations, assets, and stakeholders are included or excluded from the ISMS. The scope of the ISMS should be determined by the organisation before applying for certification or undergoing an audit.
* Review organisation efficiency: This is not an audit objective, but rather a possible outcome or a result of conducting an audit. The organisation efficiency is a measure of how well the organisation uses its
* resources to achieve its goals and objectives. The audit may help review and improve the organisation efficiency by identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in its information security management system.
