Clause 6.1.2 (Information security risk assessment) requires organizations to “define and apply an information security risk assessment process that… establishes and maintains information security risk criteria, including criteria for accepting risk.”

This means that acceptable levels of risk (risk acceptance criteria) must be explicitly defined. These criteria ensure consistent decision-making when evaluating whether identified risks need further treatment or can be tolerated.

Option A is incorrect because exclusions relate to the ISMS scope (Clause 4.3), not risk assessment planning. Option B is not a requirement; effectiveness of risk assessment methods is not required to be measured, though methods must be applied consistently. Option D is false—the standard clearly specifies required elements for risk assessment.

Thus, the correct answer isC: The criteria for acceptable levels of risk.

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.

Clause 5.1 (Leadership and Commitment) requires that:

“Top management shall demonstrate leadership and commitment with respect to the information security management system by… ensuring that the resources needed for the ISMS are available… and supporting persons to contribute to the effectiveness of the ISMS.”

This makes it explicit thattop managementhas the responsibility to ensure personnel are supported so they can contribute to the ISMS. Option B (line management) may provide local support, but ultimate accountability rests with top management. Auditors (C) only evaluate compliance, not provide support. Practitioners (D) help implement, but they don’t bear formal responsibility under the standard.

Thus, the verified answer isA: Top management of the organization.
