Question#2
What is the purpose of management review in ISO/IEC 27001:2022?
A. To ensure that the information security policy matches all identified risks
B. To ensure that employees receive information about updates to information security policies
C. To ensure the continuing suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the ISMS
D. To ensure that the information security policy covers all controls indicated in ISO/IEC 27001
Explanation:
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requires top management to review the organization’s ISMS at planned intervals to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness. Management review is a formal requirement under performance evaluation and is intended to confirm that the ISMS continues to support the organization’s objectives and strategic direction. It is broader than policy review alone and is not limited to communication or Annex A coverage.
Therefore, option C is correct.
Question#3
In the context of clause 6.1 actions to address risks and opportunities, what is defined as residual risk?
A. Effect of uncertainty on objectives
B. Informed decision to take a particular risk
C. Risk remaining after risk treatment
D. None of the above
Explanation:
Residual risk is the risk that remains after risk treatment has been applied. In an ISMS, organizations assess risks, select treatment options, and implement controls or other measures to reduce risk to an acceptable level. Even after treatment, some level of risk may still remain, and that remaining portion is called residual risk.
Therefore, option C is correct.
Question#4
How should top management provide evidence of its commitment to the Information Security Management System?
A. By communicating the importance of meeting ISMS requirements
B. By conducting an annual internal audit of the Information Security Management System
C. By operating the Information Security Management System once it has been established
D. By defining a risk assessment approach
Explanation:
One of the explicit leadership responsibilities in ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is for top management to communicate the importance of effective information security management and of conforming to the ISMS requirements. This communication helps demonstrate visible commitment and organizational direction. Conducting internal audits and defining the risk assessment approach are important activities within the ISMS, but they are not the best direct expression of top management’s evidence of commitment among the options listed.
Therefore, option A is correct.
Question#5
Which statement describes the difference between ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27002:2022?
A. ISO/IEC 27002:2022 provides guidance on measurement, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 provides guidance on information security controls
B. ISO/IEC 27002:2022 provides mandatory requirements for a risk management approach, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 contains mandatory requirements for an ISMS
C. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 contains mandatory requirements, while ISO/IEC 27002:2022 provides guidance on information security controls
D. ISO/IEC 27002:2022 contains mandatory requirements, while ISO/IEC 27001:2022 provides guidance on information security controls
Explanation:
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the certifiable standard that contains requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System. ISO/IEC 27002:2022 is not a certifiable requirements standard. It provides guidance for selecting, implementing, and managing information security controls, including the controls referenced in Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
Therefore, option C is correct.
