NEW QUESTION # 94
Which six of the following actions are the individual(s) managing the audit programme responsible for?
- A. Retaining documented information of the audit results
- B. Establishing the audit programme
- C. Selecting the audit team
- D. Defining the plan of an individual audit
- E. Determining the resources necessary for the audit programme
- F. Defining the objectives, scope and criteria for an individual audit
- G. Communicating with the auditee during the audit
- H. Establishing the extent of the audit programme
Answer: A,B,C,D,F,H
Explanation:
According to ISO 19011:2018, which provides guidelines for auditing management systems, an audit programme is a set of one or more audits planned for a specific time frame and directed towards a specific purpose1. The individual(s) managing the audit programme are responsible for establishing, implementing and maintaining the audit programme in accordance with the organization's policies and objectives1. This includes defining the extent of the audit programme based on strategic direction, risks and opportunities; establishing the audit programme by defining its objectives, scope and criteria; determining the resources necessary for the audit programme; selecting competent auditors and assigning them to appropriate audits; defining the objectives, scope and criteria for each individual audit; defining the plan of each individual audit; retaining documented information of the audit results; reviewing and improving the performance of the audit programme1. Therefore, these six actions are part of the responsibilities of the individual(s) managing the audit programme. The other option, communicating with the auditee during the audit, is not a responsibility of the individual(s) managing the audit programme, but rather a responsibility of the audit team leader1.

NEW QUESTION # 95
You are performing an ISMS audit at a residential nursing home called ABC that provides healthcare services.
You find all nursing home residents wear an electronic wristband for monitoring their location, heartbeat, and blood pressure always. You learned that the electronic wristband automatically uploads all data to the artificial intelligence (AI) cloud server for healthcare monitoring and analysis by healthcare staff.
To verify the scope of ISMS, you interview the management system representative (MSR) who explains that the ISMS scope covers an outsourced data center.
Select three options for the audit evidence you need to find to verify the scope of the ISMS.
- A. The auditee is considering the purchase of a healthcare monitoring app from an external software company
- B. The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on the comfort facility, medical professional's competence, and clean environment
- C. The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on the facility and environmental safety
- D. The auditee has ISO 9001 certification
- E. The IT service agreement with the data center where the artificial intelligence (AI) cloud server is located
- F. The auditee has identified the governmental authorities' needs and expectations on healthcare services and patient data handling
- G. The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on healthcare medical treatment services
- H. The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on how they should protect the resident's personal data
Answer: E,F,H
Explanation:
According to ISO 27001:2022 clause 4.3, the organisation shall determine the scope of the information security management system (ISMS) by considering the internal and external issues, the requirements of interested parties, and the interfaces and dependencies with other organisations12 In this case, the ISMS scope covers an outsourced data center that hosts the artificial intelligence (AI) cloud server for healthcare monitoring and analysis of the residents' data. Therefore, the audit evidence you need to find to verify the scope of the ISMS should include:
* The auditee has identified the governmental authorities' needs and expectations on healthcare services and patient data handling. This is an external issue and an interested party requirement that affects the ISMS scope, as the auditee has to comply with the relevant laws and regulations regarding the quality, safety, and privacy of healthcare services and patient data12
* The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on how they should protect the resident's personal data. This is an external issue and an interested party requirement that affects the ISMS scope, as the auditee has to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the resident's personal data that is collected, processed, and stored by the electronic wristband and the AI cloud server12
* The IT service agreement with the data center where the artificial intelligence (AI) cloud server is located. This is an interface and dependency with another organisation that affects the ISMS scope, as the auditee has to control the externally provided processes, products, and services that are relevant to the ISMS, and to implement appropriate contractual requirements related to information security12 The following options are not relevant or sufficient for verifying the scope of the ISMS:
* The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on the facility and environmental safety.
This is an external issue and an interested party requirement, but it does not affect the ISMS scope, as it is not related to information security12
* The auditee has ISO 9001 certification. This is an indication of the auditee's quality management system, but it does not verify the scope of the ISMS, as it is not related to information security12
* The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on the comfort facility, medical professional's competence, and clean environment. These are external issues and interested party requirements, but they do not affect the ISMS scope, as they are not related to information security12
* The auditee has identified the resident's needs and expectations on healthcare medical treatment services. These are external issues and interested party requirements, but they do not verify the scope of the ISMS, as they are not specific to information security12
* The auditee is considering the purchase of a healthcare monitoring app from an external software company. This is a potential change that may affect the ISMS scope in the future, but it does not verify the current scope of the ISMS, as it is not yet implemented or controlled12 References:

- L. How protection against malware is implemented
- M. Access to and from the loading bay
- N. How access to source code and development tools are managed
- O. How the organisation evaluates its exposure to technical vulnerabilities
- P. Confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements
Answer: B,L,N,O
Explanation:
According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, which specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS), an organization should select and implement appropriate controls to achieve its information security objectives1. The controls should be derived from the results of risk assessment and risk treatment, and should be consistent with the Statement of Applicability (SoA), which is a document that identifies the controls that are applicable and necessary for the ISMS1. The controls can be selected from various sources, such as ISO/IEC 27002:2013, which provides a code of practice for information security controls2. Therefore, if an auditor in training has been tasked with reviewing the technological controls listed in the SoA and implemented at the site of an organization that stores data on behalf of external clients, four controls that would be expected to review are:
* How protection against malware is implemented: This is a technological control that aims to prevent, detect and remove malicious software (such as viruses, worms, ransomware, etc.) that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of information or information systems2. This control is related to control A.12.2.1 of ISO/IEC 27002:20132.
* How the organisation evaluates its exposure to technical vulnerabilities: This is a technological control that aims to identify and assess the potential weaknesses or flaws in information systems or networks that could be exploited by malicious actors or cause accidental failures2. This control is related to control A.12.6.1 of ISO/IEC 27002:20132.
* How access to source code and development tools are managed: This is a technological control that aims to protect the intellectual property rights and integrity of software applications or systems that are developed or maintained by the organization or its external providers2. This control is related to controlA.14.2.5 of ISO/IEC 27002:20132.
* The operation of the site CCTV and door control systems: This is a technological control that aims to monitor and restrict physical access to the premises or facilities where information or information systems are stored or processed2. This control is related to control A.11.1.4 of ISO/IEC 27002:20132.
The other options are not examples of technological controls, but rather organizational, legal or procedural controls that may also be relevant for an ISMS audit, but are not within the scope of the auditor in training's task. For example, the development and maintenance of an information asset inventory (related to control A.8.1.1), rules for transferring information within the organization and to other organizations (related to control A.13.2.1), confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements (related to control A.13.2.4), verification checks on personnel (related to control A.7.1.2), remote working arrangements (related to control A.6.2.1), information security within supplier agreements (related to control A.15.1.1), business continuity arrangements (related to control A.17), information deletion (related to control A.8.3), information security awareness, education and training (related to control A.7.2), equipment maintenance (related to control A.11.2), and how power and data cables enter the building (related to control A.11) are not technological controls, but rather organizational, legal or procedural controls that may also be relevant for an ISMS audit, but are not within the scope of the auditor in training's task.

NEW QUESTION # 98
The following are definitions of Information, except:
- A. mature and measurable data
- B. specific and organized data for a purpose
- C. accurate and timely data
- D. can lead to understanding and decrease in uncertainty
Answer: A
Explanation:
The definition of information that is not correct is C: mature and measurable data. This is not a valid definition of information, as information does not have to be mature or measurable to be considered as such. Information can be any data that has meaning or value for someone or something in a certain context. Information can be subjective, qualitative, incomplete or uncertain, depending on how it is interpreted or used. Mature and measurable data are characteristics that may apply to some types of information, but not all. The other definitions of information are correct, as they describe different aspects of information, such as accuracy and timeliness (A), specificity and organization (B), and understanding and uncertainty reduction (D). ISO/IEC
27001:2022 defines information as "any data that has meaning" (see clause 3.25). References: CQI & IRCA Certified ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor Training Course, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information technology

A planning process that introduced the concept of planning as a cycle that forms the basis for continuous improvement is called:
- A. time based planning.
- B. RACI Matrix
- C. plan, do, check, act.
- D. planning for continuous improvement.
Answer: C
Explanation:
A planning process that introduced the concept of planning as a cycle that forms the basis for continuous improvement is called plan, do, check, act (PDCA). This is a widely used model for managing and improving processes and systems, and it is also the basis for the structure of ISO/IEC 27001:2022. The PDCA cycle consists of four phases: plan (establish objectives and processes), do (implement and operate), check (monitor and review), and act (maintain and improve).

Access Control System, CCTV and security guards are form of:
- A. Physical Security
- B. Environment Security
- C. Access Control
- D. Compliance
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, clause A.11.1.1, the organization should implement physical and environmental security measures to prevent unauthorized access, damage or interference to the premises and information assets. Such measures include access control systems, CCTV cameras and security guards, which are forms of physical security. Physical security is different from environment security, which refers to the protection of information assets from natural disasters, fire, water, dust, etc., and from access control, which refers to the restriction of access rights to information assets based on business needs and security policies. References: CQI & IRCA Certified ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor (Information Security Management Systems) Course Handbook, page 57; [ISO/IEC 27001:2022], clause A.11.1.1.
NEW QUESTION # 103
The following options are key actions involved in a first-party audit. Order the stages to show the sequence in which the actions should take place.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation:
The correct order of the stages is:
Prepare the audit checklist
Gather objective evidence
Review audit evidence
Document findings
Audit preparation: This stage involves defining the audit objectives, scope, criteria, and plan. The auditor also prepares the audit checklist, which is a list of questions or topics that will be covered during the audit. The audit checklist helps the auditor to ensure that all relevant aspects of the ISMS are addressed and that the audit evidence is collected in a systematic and consistent manner12.
Audit execution: This stage involves conducting the audit activities, such as opening meeting, interviews, observations, document review, and closing meeting. The auditor gathers objective evidence, which is any information that supports the audit findings and conclusions. Objective evidence can be qualitative or quantitative, and can be obtained from various sources, such as records, statements, physical objects, or observations123.
Audit reporting: This stage involves reviewing the audit evidence, evaluating the audit findings, and documenting the audit results. The auditor reviews the audit evidence to determine whether it is sufficient, reliable, and relevant to support the audit findings. The auditor evaluates the audit findings to determine the degree of conformity or nonconformity of the ISMS with the audit criteria. The auditor documents the audit results in an audit report, which is a formal record of the audit process and outcomes. The audit report typically includes the following elements123:
An introduction clarifying the scope, objectives, timing and extent of the work performed An executive summary indicating the key findings, a brief analysis and a conclusion The intended report recipients and, where appropriate, guidelines on classification and circulation Detailed findings and analysis Recommendations for improvement, where applicable A statement of conformity or nonconformity with the audit criteria Any limitations or exclusions of the audit scope or evidence Any deviations from the audit plan or procedures Any unresolved issues or disagreements between the auditor and the auditee A list of references, abbreviations, and definitions used in the report A list of appendices, such as audit plan, audit checklist, audit evidence, audit team members, etc.
Audit follow-up: This stage involves verifying the implementation and effectiveness of the corrective actions taken by the auditee to address the audit findings. The auditor monitors the progress and completion of the corrective actions, and evaluates their impact on the ISMS performance and conformity. The auditor may conduct a follow-up audit to verify the corrective actions on-site, or may rely on other methods, such as document review, remote interviews, or self-assessment by the auditee.
The auditor documents the follow-up results and updates the audit report accordingly123.

NEW QUESTION # 104
You receive the following mail from the IT support team: Dear User,Starting next week, we will be deleting all inactive email accounts in order to create spaceshare the below details in order to continue using your account. In case of no response, Name:
Email ID:
Password:
DOB:
Kindly contact the webmail team for any further support. Thanks for your attention.
Which of the following is the best response?
- A. Ignore the email
- B. Respond it by saying that one should not share the password with anyone
- C. One should not respond to these mails and report such email to your supervisor
Answer: C
Explanation:
The best response to the email from the IT support team asking for personal details is to not respond to the email and report it to your supervisor. The email is likely a phishing attempt, which is a form of social engineering that uses deceptive emails or other messages to trick recipients into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, bank account details, etc. Phishing emails often impersonate legitimate organizations or individuals and create a sense of urgency or curiosity to lure the victims into clicking on malicious links, opening malicious attachments or providing personal information.
The IT support team should never ask for your password or other personal details via email, as this is a violation of information security policies and best practices. Ignoring the email or responding to it by saying that one should not share the password with anyone are not sufficient responses, as they do not alert the IT support team or your supervisor about the phishing attempt, which could affect other users as well. Reporting the email to your supervisor is a responsible action that could help prevent further damage or compromise of information. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requires the organization to implement awareness and training programs to make users aware of the risks of social engineering attacks, such as phishing, and how to avoid them (see clause A.7.2.2).

NEW QUESTION # 105
What is a repressive measure in case of a fire?
- A. Putting out a fire after it has been detected by a fire detector
- B. Repairing damage caused by the fire
- C. Taking out a fire insurance
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
A repressive measure is a measure that aims to reduce or eliminate the impact of an incident after it has occurred. Putting out a fire after it has been detected by a fire detector is an example of a repressive measure, as it reduces the damage caused by the fire. Taking out a fire insurance is not a repressive measure, but a corrective measure, as it compensates for the loss after the incident. Repairing damage caused by the fire is also not a repressive measure, but a recovery measure, as it restores the normal operation after the incident.
