ISO-IEC-27001-Lead-Implementer Exam
The PECB ISO-IEC-27001-Lead-Implementer exam caters to professionals seeking to lead and manage ISMS implementation within organizations. It's ideal for:
The PECB ISO-IEC-27001-Lead-Implementer exam delves into the core concepts and principles of ISO/IEC 27001, including:
The main difference between the PECB ISO-IEC-27001-Lead-Implementer and ISO-IEC-27001-Lead-Auditor exams lies in their focus and objectives:
Scenario 10: NetworkFuse develops, manufactures, and sells network hardware. The company has had an operational information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001 requirements and a quality management system (QMS) based on ISO 9001 for approximately two years. Recently, it has applied for a j^ombined certification audit in order to obtain certification against ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001.
After selecting the certification body, NetworkFuse prepared the employees for the audit The company decided to not conduct a self-evaluation before the audit since, according to the top management, it was not necessary. In addition, it ensured the availability of documented information, including internal audit reports and management reviews, technologies in place, and the general operations of the ISMS and the QMS. However, the company requested from the certification body that the documentation could not be carried off-site
However, the audit was not performed within the scheduled days because NetworkFuse rejected the audit team leader assigned and requested their replacement The company asserted that the same audit team leader issued a recommendation for certification to its main competitor, which, for the company's top management, was a potential conflict of interest. The request was not accepted by the certification body
Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:
Does NetworkFuse fulfill the prerequisites for a certification audit?
Scenario 4: TradeB. a commercial bank that has just entered the market, accepts deposits from its clients and offers basic financial services and loans for investments. TradeB has decided to implement an information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001 Having no experience of a management [^system implementation, TradeB's top management contracted two experts to direct and manage the ISMS implementation project.
First, the project team analyzed the 93 controls of ISO/IEC 27001 Annex A and listed only the security controls deemed applicable to the company and their 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 three nonnumerical categories (low, medium, and high). They evaluated the risks based on the risk evaluation criteria and decided to treat only the high risk category They also decided to focus primarily on the unauthorized use of administrator rights and system interruptions due to several hardware failures by establishing a new version of the access control policy, implementing controls to manage and control user access, and implementing a control for ICT readiness for business continuity
Lastly, they drafted a risk assessment report, in which they wrote that if after the implementation of these security controls the level of risk is below the acceptable level, the risks will be accepted
What should TradeB do in order to deal with residual risks? Refer to scenario 4.
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 of the actions presented in scenario 4 is NOT compliant with the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001?
