Question 166

You are performing an ISMS audit at a 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 he electronic wristband automatically uploads all data to the artificial intelligence (AI) cloud server for healthcare monitoring and analysis by healthcare staff.
To verify the scope of ISMS, you interview the management system representative (MSR) who explains that the ISMS scope covers an outsourced data center.
Select four options for the clauses and/or controls of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 that are directly relevant to the verification of the scope of the ISMS.

A.Control 5.3 Organizational roles, responsibilites and authorities
B.Clause 4.2 Understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties
C.Control 5.3 Legal, statutory, regulatory and contractual requirements
D.Control 6.3 Information security awareness, education, and training
E.Clause 5.2 Policy
F.Clause 4.1 Understanding the organization and its context
G.Control 7.6 Working in secure areas
H.Clause 4.3 Determining the scope of the information security management system

Correct Answer: B,E,F,H

B . This clause requires the organisation to determine the interested parties that are relevant to the ISMS, and the requirements of these interested parties12. This clause is relevant to the verification of the scope of the ISMS because it helps the organisation to identify the stakeholders that have an influence or an interest in the information security of the organisation, such as customers, suppliers, regulators, employees, etc. The organisation should also consider the needs and expectations of these interested parties when defining the scope of the ISMS, and ensure that they are met and communicated.
E . This clause requires the organisation to establish an information security policy that provides the framework for setting the information security objectives and guiding the information security activities13. This clause is relevant to the verification of the scope of the ISMS because it helps the organisation to define the direction and principles of the ISMS, and to align them with the strategic goals and context of the organisation. The information security policy should also be consistent with the scope of the ISMS, and should be communicated and understood within the organisation and by relevant interested parties.
F . This clause requires the organisation to determine the internal and external issues that are relevant to the purpose and the context of the organisation, and that affect its ability to achieve the intended outcomes of the ISMS14. This clause is relevant to the verification of the scope of the ISMS because it helps the organisation to understand the factors and conditions that influence the information security of the organisation, such as the legal, technological, social, economic, environmental, etc. The organisation should also monitor and review these issues, and consider them when defining the scope of the ISMS.
H . This clause requires the organisation to determine the boundaries and applicability of the ISMS to establish its scope15. This clause is relevant to the verification of the scope of the ISMS because it helps the organisation to describe the information and processes that are included in the ISMS, and to document the scope in a clear and concise manner. The organisation should also consider the issues, requirements, and interfaces identified in clauses 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 when determining the scope of the ISMS, and ensure that the scope is appropriate to the nature and scale of the organisation.

Question 167

You are performing an ISMS audit at a 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.
To verify the scope of ISMS, you interview the management system representative (MSR) who explains that the ISMS scope covers an outsourced data center.
Select three options for the audit evidence you need to find to verify the scope of the ISMS.

A.The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on the facility and environmental safety
B.The auditee has ISO 9001 certification
C.The auditee has identified the governmental authorities' needs and expectations on healthcare services and patient data handling
D.The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on how they should protect the resident's personal data
E.The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on the comfort facility, medical professional's competence, and clean environment
F.The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on healthcare medical treatment services
G.The IT service agreement with the data center where the artificial intelligence (AI) cloud server is located
H.The auditee is considering the purchase of a healthcare monitoring app from an external software company

Correct Answer: C,D,G

Explanation
According to ISO 27001:2022 clause 4.3, the organisation shall determine the scope of the information security management system (ISMS) by considering the internal and external issues, the requirements of interested parties, and the interfaces and dependencies with other organisations12 In this case, the ISMS scope covers an outsourced data center that hosts the artificial intelligence (AI) cloud server for healthcare monitoring and analysis of the residents' data. Therefore, the audit evidence you need to find to verify the scope of the ISMS should include:
* The auditee has identified the governmental authorities' needs and expectations on healthcare services and patient data handling. This is an external issue and an interested party requirement that affects the ISMS scope, as the auditee has to comply with the relevant laws and regulations regarding the quality, safety, and privacy of healthcare services and patient data12
* The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on how they should protect the resident's personal data. This is an external issue and an interested party requirement that affects the ISMS scope, as the auditee has to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the resident's personal data that is collected, processed, and stored by the electronic wristband and the AI cloud server12
* The IT service agreement with the data center where the artificial intelligence (AI) cloud server is located. This is an interface and dependency with another organisation that affects the ISMS scope, as the auditee has to control the externally provided processes, products, and services that are relevant to the ISMS, and to implement appropriate contractual requirements related to information security12 The following options are not relevant or sufficient for verifying the scope of the ISMS:
* The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on the facility and environmental safety.
This is an external issue and an interested party requirement, but it does not affect the ISMS scope, as it is not related to information security12
* The auditee has ISO 9001 certification. This is an indication of the auditee's quality management system, but it does not verify the scope of the ISMS, as it is not related to information security12
* The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on the comfort facility, medical professional's competence, and clean environment. These are external issues and interested party requirements, but they do not affect the ISMS scope, as they are not related to information security12
* The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on healthcare medical treatment services. These are external issues and interested party requirements, but they do not verify the scope of the ISMS, as they are not specific to information security12
* The auditee is considering the purchase of a healthcare monitoring app from an external software company. This is a potential change that may affect the ISMS scope in the future, but it does not verify the current scope of the ISMS, as it is not yet implemented or controlled12 References:

Question 168

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 and explains that the process is based on ISO/IEC 27035-1:2016.
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 "weakness, event, and incident".
You sample incident report records from the event tracking system for the last 6 months with summarized results in the following table.

You would like to further investigate other areas to collect more audit evidence. Select two options that will not be in your audit trail.

A.Collect more evidence on how and when the Human Resources manager pays the ransom fee to unlock personal mobile data, i.e., credit card, and bank transfer. (Relevant to control A.5.26)
B.Collect more evidence on what the service requirements of healthcare monitoring are. (Relevant to clause 4.2)
C.Collect more evidence on how the organization determined no further action was needed after the incident. (Relevant to control A.5.26)
D.Collect more evidence on how the organisation determined the incident recovery time. (Relevant to control A.5.27)
E.Collect more evidence on the incident recovery procedures. (Relevant to control A.5.26)
F.Collect more evidence by interviewing more staff about their understanding of the reporting process.
(Relevant to control A.6.8)
G.Collect more evidence on how and when the company pays the ransom fee to unlock the company's mobile phone and data, i.e., credit card, and bank transfer. (Relevant to control A.5.26)

Question 169

During an opening meeting of a Stage 2 audit, the Managing Director of the client organisation invites the audit team to view a new company video lasting 45 minutes. Which two of the following responses should the audit team leader make?

A.Advise the Managing Director that the audit team has to keep to the planned schedule
B.State that the audit team leader will stay behind after the opening meeting to view the video on behalf of the team
C.Invite the Managing Director to the auditors' hotel for a viewing that evening.
D.Suggest that the video could be viewed during a refreshment break
E.State that the audit team will make a decision on the viewing at a later time
F.Advise the Managing Director that the audit team agrees to his request

Correct Answer: A,D

According to ISO 19011:2018, which provides guidelines for auditing management systems, an opening meeting is a formal communication between the audit team and the auditee at the start of an audit1. The purpose of the opening meeting is to confirm the audit objectives, scope and criteria, introduce the audit team and their roles, confirm the audit plan and logistics, explain the audit methods and procedures, and establish the communication channels1. Therefore, if the Managing Director of the client organization invites the audit team to view a new company video lasting 45 minutes during the opening meeting of a Stage 2 audit, the audit team leader should respond in a way that does not compromise the effectiveness and efficiency of the audit or create any misunderstanding or conflict with the auditee. Two possible ways to respond are to advise the Managing Director that the audit team has to keep to the planned schedule, as there may be limited time and resources available for the audit; or to suggest that the video could be viewed during a refreshment break, if it is relevant and useful for the audit and does not interfere with other audit activities1. The other options are not appropriate responses for the audit team leader to make in this situation. For example, stating that the audit team leader will stay behind after the opening meeting to view the video on behalf of the team may imply that the video is not important or relevant for the rest of the audit team; inviting the Managing Director to the auditors' hotel for a viewing that evening may create an impression of bias or favouritism; stating that the audit team will make a decision on the viewing at a later time may be vague or indecisive; and advising the Managing Director that the audit team agrees to his request may result in wasting valuable audit time or losing focus on the audit objectives1.

Question 170

As an auditor, you have noticed that ABC Inc. has established a procedure to manage the removable storage medi a. 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
