Scenario 9: SkyFleet specializes in air freight services, providing fast and reliable transportation solutions for businesses that need quick delivery of goods across long distances. Given the confidential nature of the information it handles, SkyFleet is committed to maintaining the highest information security standards. To achieve this, the company has had an information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001 in operation for a year. To enhance its reputation, SkyFleet is pursuing certification against ISO/IEC 27001.
SkyFleet strongly emphasizes the ongoing maintenance of information security. In pursuit of this goal, it has established a rigorous review process, conducting in-depth assessments of the ISMS strategy every two years to ensure security measures remain robust and up to date. In addition, the company takes a balanced approach to nonconformities. For example, when employees fail to follow proper data encryption protocols for internal communications, SkyFleet assesses the nature and scale of this nonconformity. If this deviation is deemed minor and limited in scope, the company does not prioritize immediate resolution. However, a significant action plan was developed to address a major nonconformity involving the revamp of the company's entire data management system to ensure the protection of client data. SkyFleet entrusted the approval of this action plan to the employees directly responsible for implementing the changes. This streamlined approach ensures that those closest to the issues actively engage in the resolution process. SkyFleet's blend of innovation, dedication to information security, and adaptability has built its reputation as a key player in the IT and communications services sector.
Despite initially not being recommended for certification due to missed deadlines for submitting required action plans, SkyFleet undertook corrective measures to address these deficiencies in preparation for the next certification process. These measures involved analyzing the root causes of the delay, developing a corrective action plan, reassessing ISMS implementation to ensure compliance with ISO/IEC 27001 requirements, intensifying internal audit activities, and engaging with a certification body for a follow-up audit.
According to scenario 9, has SkyFleet accurately outlined the responsible party for approving its action plan for the revamp of the company's entire data management system?
