Question 136

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 the Service Manager to explain how the organization manages information security during the business continuity management process.
The Service Manager presented the nursing service continuity plan for a pandemic and summarised 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 IT Security Manager should help with that.
You would like to further investigate other areas to collect more audit evidence. Select three options that will not be in your audit trail.

A.Collect more evidence on how information security protocols are maintained during disruption (relevant to control A.5.29)
B.Collect more evidence that staff only use IT equipment protected from malware when working from home (relevant to control A.8.7)
C.Collect more evidence by interviewing additional staff to ensure they are aware of the need to sometimes work from home (Relevant to clause 7.3)
D.Collect more evidence on how and when the Business Continuity Plan has been tested. (Relevant to control A.5.29)
E.Collect more evidence on how the organisation makes sure all staff periodically conduct a positive Covid test (Relevant to control A.7.2)
F.Collect more evidence on how the organisation manages information security on mobile devices and during teleworking (Relevant to control A.6.7)
G.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)
H.Collect more evidence on what resources the organisation provides to support the staff working from home. (Relevant to clause 7.1)

Correct Answer: E,G,H

According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 clause 6.1, the organization must establish, implement and maintain an information security risk management process that includes the following activities:
establishing and maintaining information security risk criteria;
ensuring that repeated information security risk assessments produce consistent, valid and comparable results; identifying the information security risks; analyzing the information security risks; evaluating the information security risks; treating the information security risks; accepting the information security risks and the residual information security risks; communicating and consulting with stakeholders throughout the process; monitoring and reviewing the information security risks and the risk treatment plan.
According to control A.5.29, the organization must establish, document, implement and maintain processes, procedures and controls to ensure the required level of continuity for information security during a disruptive situation. The organization must also:
determine its requirements for information security and the continuity of information security management in adverse situations, e.g. during a crisis or disaster; establish, document, implement and maintain processes, procedures and controls to ensure the required level of continuity for information security during an adverse situation; verify the availability of information processing facilities.
Therefore, the following options will not be in your audit trail, as they are not relevant to the information security risk management process or the information security continuity process:
E). Collect more evidence on how the organisation makes sure all staff periodically conduct a positive Covid test (Relevant to control A.7.2). This is not relevant to the information security aspects of business continuity management, as it is related to the health and safety of the staff, not the protection of information assets. Control A.7.2 is about screening of personnel prior to employment, not during employment.
G). 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 is not relevant to the information security aspects of business continuity management, as it is related to the operational and financial aspects of the business, not the identification and treatment of information security risks. Clause 6 is about the information security risk management process, not the business risk management process.
H). Collect more evidence on what resources the organisation provides to support the staff working from home. (Relevant to clause 7.1). This is not relevant to the information security aspects of business continuity management, as it is related to the general provision of resources for the ISMS, not the specific processes, procedures and controls to ensure the continuity of information security during a disruptive situation. Clause 7.1 is about determining and providing the resources needed for the establishment, implementation, maintenance and continual improvement of the ISMS, not the resources needed for the staff working from home.

Question 137

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

Correct Answer: A,F,G,H

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.

Question 138

You are performing an ISMS audit at a European-based residential
nursing home called ABC that provides healthcare services. You find all nursing home residents wear an electronic wristband for monitoring their location, heartbeat, and blood pressure always. You learned that the electronic wristband automatically uploads all data to the artificial intelligence (AI) cloud server for healthcare monitoring and analysis by healthcare staff.
The next step in your audit plan is to verify that the information security policy and objectives have been established by top management.
During the audit, you found the following audit evidence.
Match the audit evidence to the corresponding requirement in ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
