NEW QUESTION 65
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?

Take no action. Irrespective of any recommendations, contractors will always act in this way

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

Raise a nonconformity against control A.7.6 ‘working in secure areas’ as security measures for working in secure areas have not been defined

Determine whether any additional effective arrangements are in place to verify individual access to secure areas e.g. CCTV

Raise an opportunity for improvement that contractors must be accompanied at all times when accessing secure facilities

Raise an opportunity for improvement to have a large sign in reception reminding everyone requiring access must use their swipe card at all times

Raise a nonconformity against control A.7.2 ‘physical entry’ as a secure area is not adequately protected

Tell the organisation they must write to their contractors, reminding them of the need to use access cards appropriately

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.

Scenario 1: Fintive is a distinguished security provider for online payments and protection solutions. Founded in 1999 by Thomas Fin in San Jose, California, Fintive offers services to companies that operate online and want to improve their information security, prevent fraud, and protect user information such as PII. Fintive centers its decision-making and operating process based on previous cases. They gather customer data, classify them depending on the case, and analyze them. The company needed a large number of employees to be able to conduct such complex analyses. After some years, however, the technology that assists in conducting such analyses advanced as well. Now, Fintive is planning on using a modern tool, a chatbot, to achieve pattern analyses toward preventing fraud in real-time. This tool would also be used to assist in improving customer service.
This initial idea was communicated to the software development team, who supported it and were assigned to work on this project. They began integrating the chatbot on their existing system. In addition, the team set an objective regarding the chatbot which was to answer 85% of all chat queries.
After the successful integration of the chatbot, the company immediately released it to their customers for use.
The chatbot, however, appeared to have some issues.
Due to insufficient testing and lack of samples provided to the chatbot during the training phase, in which it was supposed “to learn” the queries pattern, the chatbot failed to address user queries and provide the right answers. Furthermore, the chatbot sent random files to users when it received invalid inputs such as odd patterns of dots and special characters. Therefore, the chatbot was unable to properly answer customer queries and the traditional customer support was overwhelmed with chat queries and thus was unable to help customers with their requests.
Consequently, Fintive established a software development policy. This policy specified that whether the software is developed in-house or outsourced, it will undergo a black box testing prior to its implementation on operational systems.
Based on this scenario, answer the following question:
The chatbot was supposed “to learn” the queries pattern to address user queries and provide the right answers.
What type of technology enables
this?

Artificial intelligence

Cloud computing

Machine learning

NEW QUESTION 71
You are an ISMS audit team leader who has been assigned by your certification body to carry out a follow-up audit of a client. You are preparing your audit plan for this audit.
Which two of the following statements are true?

Verification should focus on whether any action undertaken taken has been undertaken efficiently

Corrections should be verified first, followed by corrective actions and finally opportunities for improvement

Verification should focus on whether any action undertaken is complete

Opportunities for improvement should be verified first, followed by corrections and finally corrective actions

Corrective actions should be reviewed first, followed by corrections and finally opportunities for improvement

Verification should focus on whether any action undertaken has been undertaken effectively

Explanation
According to ISO 27001:2022 clause 9.1.2, the organisation shall conduct internal audits at planned intervals to provide information on whether the information security management system conforms to the organisation’s own requirements, the requirements of ISO 27001:2022, and is effectively implemented and maintained12 According to ISO 27001:2022 clause 10.1, the organisation shall react to the nonconformities and take action, as applicable, to control and correct them and deal with the consequences. The organisation shall also evaluate the need for action to eliminate the causes of nonconformities, in order to prevent recurrence or occurrence.
The organisation shall implement any action needed, review the effectiveness of any corrective action taken, and make changes to the information security management system, if necessary12 A follow-up audit is a type of internal audit that is conducted after a previous audit to verify whether the nonconformities and corrective actions have been addressed and resolved, and whether the information security management system has been improved12 Therefore, the following statements are true for preparing a follow-up audit plan:
* Verification should focus on whether any action undertaken is complete. This means that the auditor should check whether the organisation has implemented all the planned actions to correct and prevent the nonconformities, and whether the actions have been documented and communicated as required12
* Verification should focus on whether any action undertaken has been undertaken effectively. This means that the auditor should check whether the organisation has achieved the intended results and objectives of the actions, and whether the actions have eliminated or reduced the nonconformities and their causes and consequences12 The following statements are false for preparing a follow-up audit plan:
* Verification should focus on whether any action undertaken has been undertaken efficiently. This is false because efficiency is not a criterion for verifying the actions taken to address the nonconformities and corrective actions. Efficiency refers to the optimal use of resources to achieve the desired outcomes,
* but it is not a requirement of ISO 27001:2022. The auditor should focus on the effectiveness and completeness of the actions, not on the efficiency12
* Corrections should be verified first, followed by corrective actions and finally opportunities for improvement. This is false because there is no prescribed order for verifying the corrections, corrective actions, and opportunities for improvement. The auditor should verify all the actions taken by the organisation, regardless of their sequence or priority. The auditor may choose to verify the actions based on their relevance, significance, or impact, but this is not a mandatory requirement12
* Opportunities for improvement should be verified first, followed by corrections and finally corrective actions. This is false because there is no prescribed order for verifying the opportunities for improvement, corrections, and corrective actions. The auditor should verify all the actions taken by the organisation, regardless of their sequence or priority. The auditor may choose to verify the actions based on their relevance, significance, or impact, but this is not a mandatory requirement12
* Corrective actions should be reviewed first, followed by corrections and finally opportunities for improvement. This is false because there is no prescribed order for reviewing the corrective actions, corrections, and opportunities for improvement. The auditor should review all the actions taken by the organisation, regardless of their sequence or priority. The auditor may choose to review the actions based on their relevance, significance, or impact, but this is not a mandatory requirement12 References:

NEW QUESTION 74
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.

Collect more evidence on how the organisation manages information security on mobile devices and during teleworking (Relevant to control A.6.7)

Collect more evidence by interviewing more staff about their feeling about working from home.
(Relevant to clause 4.2)

Collect more evidence on what resources the organisation provides to support the staff working from home. (Relevant to clause 7.1)

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)

Collect more evidence on how and when the Business Continuity Wan has been tested. (Relevant to control A.5.29)

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)

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 75
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.

ABC asks an ISMS consultant to test the ABC Healthcare mobile app for protection against cyber-crime.

ABC cancels the service agreement with WeCare.

ABC confirms that information security control A.5.34 is contained in the Statement of Applicability (SoA).

ABC discontinues the use of the ABC Healthcare mobile app.

ABC introduces background checks on information security performance for all suppliers.

ABC periodically monitors compliance with all applicable legislation and contractual requirements involving third parties.

ABC takes legal action against WeCare for breach of contract.

ABC trains all staff on the importance of maintaining information security protocols.

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.
