ISO-IEC-27002-Foundation Exam Dumps : ISO/IEC 27002 Foundation Exam

Information security determines both what needs to be protected and how protection should be applied. The first part is understanding information assets, their value, their sensitivity, their owners, their business purpose, and the consequences if they are disclosed, altered, lost, or unavailable. This answers what must be protected and why. The second part is understanding threats, vulnerabilities, risk levels, legal obligations, contractual duties, and control options. This answers what the information must be protected from and how security controls should be designed. ISO/IEC 27002 supports both dimensions. Asset inventory and classification clarify protection needs. Access control, cryptography, backup, logging, network security, secure development, incident management, and physical security define protection methods. Option A is correct but incomplete. Option B is also correct but incomplete. Option C is therefore the verified answer because information security is a complete discipline covering asset understanding, risk understanding, control selection, implementation, monitoring, and improvement. The ISO/IEC 27002 control set is structured to support that full protection lifecycle.

Clock synchronization can be difficult when using multiple cloud services. ISO/IEC 27002 Control 8.17 emphasizes that clocks of information processing systems should be synchronized to approved time sources. Accurate time is essential for logging, monitoring, incident investigation, transaction integrity, forensic analysis, authentication, certificate validation, and event correlation. In a simple on-premises environment, an organization may centrally manage time sources using internal NTP servers or domain services. In multi-cloud environments, systems may span different providers, regions, platforms, managed services, containers, serverless functions, and third-party logging systems. Each environment may have different time settings, time source controls, administrative access limits, time zone handling, timestamp formats, and logging precision. This makes consistent synchronization and correlation more challenging. Option A is not the best answer because “only on-premises services” are typically easier to synchronize under a single administrative model. Option C is too broad because the question asks when synchronization can be difficult, and the ISO/IEC 27002 exam logic points to multiple cloud services.

Control 8.28, Secure coding, is the correct control because the question focuses on software being written securely and reducing potential vulnerabilities in the code. Secure coding addresses the practices, rules, and techniques developers should use to avoid common software weaknesses. This can include input validation, output encoding, error handling, authentication handling, secure session management, memory safety, protection against injection, secure API use, cryptographic correctness, dependency management, and code review. Control 8.29, Security testing in development and acceptance, verifies whether security requirements and controls are effective, but testing occurs after or during development and does not itself define how code should be written. Control 8.26, Application security requirements, defines security requirements for applications, but secure coding is the specific implementation practice that reduces vulnerabilities during software construction. ISO/IEC 27002 treats secure development as a lifecycle discipline: requirements define what is needed, secure coding implements it safely, and testing validates it. The direct match to the exam wording is Control 8.28. References/Chapters: ISO/IEC 27002:2022, Control 8.28 Secure coding; Control 8.26 Application security requirements; Control 8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance.
