Question 2

Scenario 7: InfoSec, based in Boston, MA, is a multinational corporation offering professional electronics, gaming, and entertainment products. Following several information security incidents, InfoSec has decided to establish teams of experts and implement measures to prevent potential incidents in the future.

Emma, Bob, and Anna were hired as the new members of InfoSec's information security team, which consists of a security architecture team, an incident response team (IRT), and a forensics team. Emma's job is to create information security plans, policies, protocols, and training to prepare InfoSec to respond to incidents effectively. Emma and Bob would be full-time employees of InfoSec, whereas Anna was contracted as an external consultant.

Bob, a network expert, will implement a screened subnet network architecture. This architecture will isolate the demilitarized zone (DMZ), to which hosted public services are attached, and InfoSec's publicly accessible resources from their private network. Thus, InfoSec will be able to block potential attackers from causing unwanted events inside the company's network. Bob is also responsible for ensuring a thorough evaluation of the nature of an unexpected event, including how the event happened and what or whom it might affect.

On the other hand, Anna will create records of the data, reviews, analyses, and reports to keep evidence for disciplinary and legal action and use them to prevent future incidents. To do the work accordingly, she should be aware of the company's information security incident management policy beforehand. Among others, this policy specifies the type of records to be created, the place where they should be kept, and the format and content that specific record types should have.

As part of InfoSec's initiative to strengthen information security measures, Anna will conduct information security risk assessments only when significant changes are proposed and will document the results of these risk assessments. Upon completion of the risk assessment process, Anna is responsible for developing and implementing a plan for treating information security risks and documenting the risk treatment results.

Furthermore, while implementing the communication plan for information security, InfoSec's top management was responsible for creating a roadmap for new product development. This approach helps the company to align its security measures with the product development efforts, demonstrating a commitment to integrating security into every aspect of its business operations.

InfoSec uses a cloud service model that includes cloud-based apps accessed through the web or an application programming interface (API). All cloud services are provided by the cloud service provider, while data is managed by InfoSec. This introduces unique security considerations and becomes a primary focus for the information security team to ensure data and systems are protected in this environment.

Based on this scenario, answer the following question:

Is the responsibility of InfoSec's top management appropriately established in implementing the communication plan for information security?



Answer : B

Scenario 6: Skyver manufactures electronic products, such as 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 ISO/IEC 27001.

Colin, the company's information security manager, decided to conduct a training and awareness session for the company's staff about the information security risks and the controls implemented to mitigate them. The session covered various topics, including Skyver's information security approaches, techniques for mitigating phishing and malware, and a dedicated segment on securing cloud infrastructure and services. This particular segment explored the shared responsibility model and concepts such as identity and access management in the cloud. Colin organized the training and awareness sessions through engaging presentations, interactive discussions, and practical demonstrations to ensure that the personnel were well-informed by security principles and practices.

One of the participants in the session was Lisa, who works in the HR Department. Although Colin explained Skyver's information security policies and procedures in an honest and fair manner, she found some of the issues being discussed too technical and did not fully understand the session. Therefore, in many cases, she would request additional help from the trainer and her colleagues. In a supportive manner, Colin suggested Lisa consider attending the session again.

Skyver has been exploring the implementation of AI solutions to help understand customer preferences and provide personalized recommendations for electronic products. The aim was to utilize AI technologies to enhance problem-solving capabilities and provide suggestions to customers. This strategic initiative aligned with Skyver's commitment to improving the customer experience through data-driven insights.

Additionally, Skyver looked for a flexible cloud infrastructure that allows the company to host certain services on internal and secure infrastructure and other services on external and scalable platforms that can be accessed from anywhere. This setup would enable various deployment options and enhance information security, crucial for Skyver's electronic product development.

According to Skyver, implementing additional controls in the ISMS implementation plan has been successfully executed, and the company was ready to transition into operational mode. Skyver assigned Colin the responsibility of determining the materiality of this change within the company.

Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:

Did Skyver assign the adequate person for determining the materiality of the transition into operational mode of the ISMS?



Answer : A


Question 6

Scenario 4: TradeB is a newly established commercial bank located in Europe, with a diverse clientele. It provides services that encompass retail banking, corporate banking, wealth management, and digital banking, all tailored to meet the evolving financial needs of individuals and businesses in the region. Recognizing the critical importance of information security in the modern banking landscape, TradeB has initiated the implementation of an information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001. To ensure the successful implementation of the ISMS, the top management decided to contract two experts to lead and oversee the ISMS implementation project.

As a primary strategy for implementing the ISMS, the experts chose an approach that emphasizes a swift implementation of the ISMS by initially meeting the minimum requirements of ISO/IEC 27001, followed by continual improvement over time. Additionally, under the guidance of the experts, TradeB opted for a methodological framework, which serves as a structured framework and a guideline that outlines the high-level stages of the ISMS implementation, the associated activities, and the deliverables without incorporating any specific tools.

The experts analyzed the ISO/IEC 27001 controls and listed only the security controls deemed applicable to the company and its objectives. Based on this analysis, they drafted the Statement of Applicability. Afterward, they conducted a risk assessment, during which they identified assets, such as hardware, software, and networks, as well as threats and vulnerabilities, assessed potential consequences and likelihood, and determined the level of risks based on a methodical approach that involved defining and characterizing the terms and criteria used in the assessment process, categorizing them into non-numerical levels (e.g., very low, low, moderate, high, very high). Explanatory notes were thoughtfully crafted to justify assessed values, with the primary goal of enhancing repeatability and reproducibility.

Then, they evaluated the risks based on the risk evaluation criteria, where they decided to treat only the risks of the high-risk category. Additionally, they focused primarily on the unauthorized use of administrator rights and system interruptions due to several hardware failures. To address these issues, they established a new version of the access control policy, implemented controls to manage and control user access, and introduced a control for ICT readiness to ensure business continuity.

Their risk assessment report indicated that if the implemented security controls reduce the risk levels to an acceptable threshold, those risks will be accepted.

Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:

Which implementation approach did TradeB initially choose to implement its information security management system (ISMS)?



Answer : B


Question 7

According to ISO/IEC 27001 controls, when planning audit tests and assurance activities involving operational systems, who should be involved in the agreement process except the tester?
