Correct Answer: C

According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, information security controls are measures that are implemented to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets1. Controls can be preventive, detective, or corrective, depending on their purpose and nature2. Preventive controls aim to prevent or deter the occurrence of a security incident or reduce its likelihood. Detective controls aim to detect or discover the occurrence of a security incident or its symptoms. Corrective controls aim to correct or restore the normal state of an asset or a process after a security incident or mitigate its impact2.
In this scenario, Socket Inc. implemented several security controls to prevent information security incidents from recurring, such as:
Segregation of networks: This is a preventive and technical control that involves separating different parts of a network into smaller segments, using devices such as routers, firewalls, or VPNs, to limit the access and communication between them3. This can enhance the security and performance of the network, as well as reduce the administrative efforts and costs3.
Privileged access rights: This is a preventive and administrative control that involves granting access to information assets or systems only to authorized personnel who have a legitimate need to access them, based on their roles and responsibilities4. This can reduce the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, or modification of information assets or systems4.
Cryptographic controls: This is a preventive and technical control that involves the use of cryptography, which is the science of protecting information by transforming it into an unreadable format, to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of information assets or systems. This can prevent unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure of information assets or systems.
Information security threat management: This is a preventive and administrative control that involves the identification, analysis, and response to information security threats, which are any incidents that could negatively affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information assets or systems. This can help the organization to anticipate, prevent, or mitigate the impact of information security threats.
Information security integration into project management: This is a preventive and administrative control that involves the incorporation of information security requirements and controls into the planning, execution, and closure of projects, which are temporary endeavors undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. This can ensure that information security risks and opportunities are identified and addressed throughout the project life cycle.
However, information backup is not a preventive control, but a corrective control. Information backup is a corrective and technical control that involves the creation and maintenance of copies of information assets or systems, using dedicated software and utilities, to ensure that they can be recovered in case of data loss, corruption, accidental deletion, or cyber incidents. This can help the organization to restore the normal state of information assets or systems after a security incident or mitigate its impact. Therefore, information backup does not prevent information security incidents from recurring, but rather helps the organization to recover from them.

Question 13

Scenario 8: SunDee is an American biopharmaceutical company, headquartered in California, the US. It specializes in developing novel human therapeutics, with a focus on cardiovascular diseases, oncology, bone health, and inflammation. The company has had an information security management system (ISMS) based on SO/IEC 27001 in place for the past two years. However, it has not monitored or measured the performance and effectiveness of its ISMS and conducted management reviews regularly Just before the recertification audit, the company decided to conduct an internal audit. It also asked most of their staff to compile the written individual reports of the past two years for their departments. This left the Production Department with less than the optimum workforce, which decreased the company's stock.
Tessa was SunDee's internal auditor. With multiple reports written by 50 different employees, the internal audit process took much longer than planned, was very inconsistent, and had no qualitative measures whatsoever Tessa concluded that SunDee must evaluate the performance of the ISMS adequately. She defined SunDee's negligence of ISMS performance evaluation as a major nonconformity, so she wrote a nonconformity report including the description of the nonconformity, the audit findings, and recommendations. Additionally, Tessa created a new plan which would enable SunDee to resolve these issues and presented it to the top management Based on scenario 8. did the nonconformity report include all the necessary aspects?

A.Yes, the report included all the necessary aspects
B.No, the report must also specify the root cause of the nonconformity
C.No, the report must also specify the audit criteria

Question 14

Why should the security testing processes be defined and implemented in the development life cycle?

A.To Identify organizational assets and define appropriate protection responsibilities
B.To protect the production environment and data from compromise by development and test activities
C.To validate if information security requirements are met when applications are deployed to the production environment

Question 15

Scenario 6: Skyver offers worldwide shipping of electronic products, including gaming consoles, flat-screen TVs. computers, and printers. In order to ensure information security, the company has decided to implement an information security management system (ISMS) based on the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001.
Colin, the company's best information security expert, decided to hold a training and awareness session for the personnel of the company regarding the information security challenges and other information security-related controls. The session included topics such as Skyver's information security approaches and techniques for mitigating phishing and malware.
One of the participants in the session is Lisa, who works in the HR Department. Although Colin explains the existing Skyver's information security policies and procedures in an honest and fair manner, she finds some of the issues being discussed too technical and does not fully understand the session. Therefore, in a lot of cases, she requests additional help from the trainer and her colleagues What is the difference between training and awareness? Refer to scenario 6.

A.Training helps acquire certain skills, whereas awareness develops certain habits and behaviors.
B.Training helps acquire a skill, whereas awareness helps apply it in practice
C.Training helps transfer a message with the intent of informing, whereas awareness helps change the behavior toward the message

Correct Answer: A

Explanation
According to ISO/IEC 27001, training and awareness are two different but complementary activities that aim to enhance the information security competence and performance of the organization's personnel. Training is the process of providing instruction and guidance to help individuals acquire certain skills, knowledge, or abilities related to information security. Awareness is the process of raising the level of consciousness and understanding of the importance and benefits of information security, and developing certain habits and behaviors that support the information security objectives and requirements.
In scenario 6, Colin is holding a training and awareness session for the personnel of Skyver, which means he is combining both activities to achieve a more effective and comprehensive information security education. The training part of the session covers topics such as Skyver's information security policies and procedures, and techniques for mitigating phishing and malware. The awareness part of the session covers topics such as Skyver's information security approaches and challenges, and the benefits of information security for the organization and its customers. The purpose of the session is to help the personnel acquire the necessary skills to perform their information security roles and responsibilities, and to develop the appropriate habits and behaviors to protect the information assets of the organization.
