Question 4 of 30
4. Question
Scenario: Emily, an Information Security Manager, is conducting a risk assessment for her organization as part of ISO/IEC 27001 compliance. During the assessment, she identifies a critical risk related to unauthorized access to sensitive data due to weak authentication controls. What should Emily prioritize as the next step?

Question 19 of 30
19. Question
Scenario: Emily, the lead auditor, has conducted an internal audit of the organization’s ISMS. During the audit, she identified nonconformities with several controls in Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001. What should be Emily’s immediate next step?
Correct
According to ISO/IEC 27001, Clause 10.1 addresses nonconformity and corrective action.
Choice a is correct because upon identifying nonconformities during an audit, the auditor’s immediate responsibility is to issue a nonconformity report to the auditee. This report details the findings, including the nature of the nonconformities and their impact on information security.
Choice b is incorrect because recommending immediate certification withdrawal is a drastic measure typically reserved for severe nonconformities that pose significant risks to the organization’s security.
Choice c is incorrect because while reviewing the information security policy may be necessary during corrective actions, it does not address the immediate need to report nonconformities.
Choice d is incorrect because updating the risk treatment plan is part of the corrective action process but is not the immediate next step after identifying nonconformities.
Issuing a nonconformity report allows the auditee to understand deficiencies, take corrective actions, and demonstrate commitment to continuous improvement in information security.

Question 22 of 30
22. Question
Scenario: Sarah, the Information Security Manager, has conducted a comprehensive risk assessment for the organization’s ISMS. During the assessment, several risks were identified that could potentially impact the confidentiality of sensitive customer data. What should Sarah prioritize as part of the risk treatment process?
Correct
According to ISO/IEC 27001, Clause 6.1.3 addresses actions to address risks and opportunities.
