Question 101

The certification body rejected NetworkFuse's request to change the audit team leader. Is this acceptable?
Refer to scenario 10.

Question 102

Scenario 8: SunDee is a biopharmaceutical firm headquartered in California, US. Renowned for its pioneering work in the field of human therapeutics, SunDee places a strong emphasis on addressing critical healthcare concerns, particularly in the domains of cardiovascular diseases, oncology, bone health, and inflammation.
SunDee has demonstrated its commitment to data security and integrity by maintaining an effective information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001 for the past two years.
In preparation for the recertification audit, SunDee conducted an internal audit. The company's topmanagement appointed Alex, who has actively managed the Compliance Department's day-to-day operations for the last six months, as the internal auditor. With this dual role assignment, Alex is tasked with conducting an audit that ensures compliance and provides valuable recommendations to improve operational efficiency.
During the internal audit, a few nonconformities were identified. To address them comprehensively, the company created action plans for each nonconformity, working closely with the audit team leader.
SunDee's senior management conducted a comprehensive review of the ISMS to evaluate its appropriateness, sufficiency, and efficiency. This was integrated into their regular management meetings. Essential documents, including audit reports, action plans, and review outcomes, were distributed to all members before the meeting. The agenda covered the status of previous review actions, changes affecting the ISMS, feedback, stakeholder inputs, and opportunities for improvement. Decisions and actions targeting ISMS improvements were made, with a significant role played by the ISMS coordinator and the internal audit team in preparing follow-up action plans, which were then approved by top management.
In response to the review outcomes, SunDee promptly implemented corrective actions, strengthening its information security measures. Additionally, dashboard tools were introduced to provide a high-level overview of key performance indicators essential for monitoring the organization's information security management. These indicators included metrics on security incidents, their costs, system vulnerability tests, nonconformity detection, and resolution times, facilitating effective recording, reporting, and tracking of monitoring activities. Furthermore, SunDee embarked on a comprehensive measurement process to assess the progress and outcomes of ongoing projects, implementing extensive measures across all processes. The top management determined that the individual responsible for the information, aside from owning the data that contributes to the measures, would also be designated accountable for executing these measurement activities.
Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:
Is Alex suitable for the position of internal auditor within the company?

A.No, Alex should wait for a reasonable period of time to pass before transitioning to the internal auditor position
B.No, the internal audit can be conducted only by individuals who have not had operational roles
C.Yes, Alex's recent experience in the day-to-day operations of the Compliance Department would benefit the internal auditor role

Question 103

What risk treatment option has Company A implemented if it has required from its employees the change of email passwords at least once every 60 days?

A.Risk modification
B.Risk avoidance
C.Risk retention

Correct Answer: A

Risk modification is one of the four risk treatment options defined by ISO/IEC 27001, which involves applying controls to reduce the likelihood and/or impact of the risk. By requiring its employees to change their email passwords at least once every 60 days, Company A has implemented a risk modification option to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to its email accounts. Changing passwords frequently can make it harder for attackers to guess or crack the passwords, and can limit the damage if a password is compromised.
The other three risk treatment options are:
* Risk avoidance: This option involves eliminating the risk source or discontinuing the activity that causes the risk. For example, Company A could avoid the risk of email compromise by not using email at all, but this would also mean losing the benefits of email communication.
* Risk retention: This option involves accepting the risk and its consequences, either because the risk is too low to justify any treatment, or because the cost of treatment is too high compared to the potential loss. For example, Company A could retain the risk of email compromise by not implementing any security measures, but this would expose the company to potential breaches and reputational damage.
* Risk transfer: This option involves sharing or transferring the risk to a third party, such as an insurer, a supplier, or a partner. For example, Company A could transfer the risk of emailcompromise by outsourcing its email service to a cloud provider, who would be responsible for the security and availability of the email accounts.

Question 104

The IT Department of a financial institution decided to implement preventive controls to avoid potential security breaches. Therefore, they separated the development, testing, and operating equipment, secured their offices, and used cryptographic keys. However, they are seeking further measures to enhance their security and minimize the risk of security breaches. Which of the following controls would help the IT Department achieve this objective?

A.Alarms to detect risks related to heat, smoke, fire, or water
B.Change all passwords of all systems
C.An access control software to restrict access to sensitive files

Correct Answer: C

An access control software is a type of preventive control that is designed to limit the access to sensitive files and information based on the user's identity, role, or authorization level. An access control software helps to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information by preventing unauthorized users from viewing, modifying, or deleting it. An access control software also helps to create an audit trail that records who accessed what information and when, which can be useful for accountability and compliance purposes.
The IT Department of a financial institution decided to implement preventive controls to avoid potential security breaches. Therefore, they separated the development, testing, and operating equipment, secured their offices, and used cryptographic keys. However, they are seeking further measures to enhance their security and minimize the risk of security breaches. An access control software would help the IT Department achieve this objective by adding another layer of protection to their sensitive files and information, and ensuring that only authorized personnel can access them.

A breach of integrity occurs when information is modified or destroyed in an unauthorized or unintended manner. In this case, Diana accidently modified the order details of a customer without their permission, which resulted in the customer receiving an incorrect product. This means that the information about the customer's order was not accurate or complete, and therefore, the integrity principle was breached. Availability and confidentiality are two other information security principles, but they were not violated in this case. Availability is the property of being accessible and usable upon demand by an authorized entity, and confidentiality is the property of preventing disclosure of information to unauthorized individuals or systems.
