Clause 6.2 (Information security objectives) requires that objectives:

“be consistent with the information security policy”

“be measurable (if practicable)”

“take into account applicable information security requirements”

“be monitored, communicated, and updated as appropriate.”

From this, option A is correct since consistency with policy is an explicit requirement. Option B is incorrect because the standard allows objectives to be measurable “if practicable” (not mandatory for all). Option C is incorrect—objectives are not transferred contractually to third parties, though third-party agreements may include security requirements. Option D is incorrect because the standard requires regular review “as appropriate,” not a fixed annual cycle.

Thus, the verified requirement isA: They shall be consistent with the information security policy.

ISO/IEC 27001 makes clear that the ISMS is intended to be tailored to the organization. The standard states: “This document also includes requirements for the assessment and treatment of information security risks tailored to the needs of the organization. The requirements set out in this document are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations regardless of type, size or nature.” This means implementation is scaled based on each organization’s risk, context, and needs, not a fixed one-size-fits-all set of activities or controls. Clause 6.1.3 further reinforces that control selection is flexible and risk-driven: “Organizations can design controls as required or identify them from any source,” and “Annex A contains a list of possible information security controls… The information security controls listed in Annex A are not exhaustive and additional information security controls can be included if needed.” Together, these extracts verify that the ISMS implementation is influenced by and scaled to the organization’s needs and selected controls, not separated from management processes (A, D) nor mandated to include “all controls” (B).

Clause 9.3.2 (Management Review Inputs) states that management reviews shall include:

“c) information on the information security performance, including trends in: (1) nonconformities and corrective actions; (2) monitoring and measurement results; (3) audit results; and (4) fulfilment of information security objectives.”

This makesachievement of information security objectives(option A) a required trend to be considered. While external/internal requirements (C) and continual improvement opportunities (D) are also part of management review inputs, they are not specifically listed under “trends in performance.” Option B is outside the direct requirement.

Thus, the verified answer isA.
