Scenario 6: Skyver offers worldwide shipping of electronic products, including gaming consoles, flat-screen TVs. computers, and printers. In order to ensure information security, the company has decided to implement an information security management system (ISMS) based on the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001.
Colin, the company’s best information security expert, decided to hold a training and awareness session for the personnel of the company regarding the information security challenges and other information security-related controls. The session included topics such as Skyver’s information security approaches and techniques for mitigating phishing and malware.
One of the participants in the session is Lisa, who works in the HR Department. Although Colin explains the existing Skyver’s information security policies and procedures in an honest and fair manner, she finds some of the issues being discussed too technical and does not fully understand the session. Therefore, in a lot of cases, she requests additional help from the trainer and her colleagues
Based on scenario 6. Lisa found some of the issues being discussed in the training and awareness session too technical, thus not fully understanding the session.
What does this indicate?
- A . Lisa did not take actions to acquire the necessary competence
- B . The effectiveness of the training and awareness session was not evaluated
- C . Skyver did not determine differing team needs in accordance to the activities they perform and the intended results
C
Explanation:
According to the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Implementer Training Course Guide1, one of the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 is to ensure that all persons doing work under the organization’s control are aware of the information security policy, their contribution to the effectiveness of the ISMS, the implications of not conforming to the ISMS requirements, and the benefits of improved information security performance. To achieve this, the organization should determine the necessary competence of persons doing work under its control that affects its information security performance, provide training or take other actions to acquire the necessary competence, evaluate the effectiveness of the actions taken, and retain appropriate documented information as evidence of competence. The organization should also determine differing team needs in accordance to the activities they perform and the intended results, and provide appropriate training and awareness programs to meet those needs.
Therefore, the scenario indicates that Skyver did not determine differing team needs in accordance to the activities they perform and the intended results, since Lisa, who works in the HR Department, found some of the issues being discussed in the training and awareness session too technical, thus not fully understanding the session. This implies that the session was not tailored to the specific needs and roles of the HR personnel, and that the information security expert did not consider the level of technical knowledge and skills required for them to perform their work effectively and securely.

Scenario 7: InfoSec is a multinational corporation headquartered in Boston, MA, which provides professional electronics, gaming, and entertainment services. After facing numerous information security incidents, InfoSec has decided to establish teams and implement measures to prevent potential incidents in the future
Emma, Bob. and Anna were hired as the new members of InfoSec’s information security team, which consists of a security architecture team, an incident response team (IRT) and a forensics team Emma’s job is to create information security plans, policies, protocols, and training to prepare InfoSec to respond to incidents effectively Emma and Bob would be full-time employees of InfoSec, whereas Anna was contracted as an external consultant.
Bob, a network expert, will deploy a screened subnet network architecture This architecture will isolate the demilitarized zone (OMZ) to which hosted public services are attached and InfoSec’s publicly accessible resources from their private network Thus, InfoSec will be able to block potential attackers from causing unwanted events inside the company’s network. Bob is also responsible for ensuring that a thorough evaluation of the nature of an unexpected event is conducted, including the details on how the event happened and what or whom it might affect.
Anna will create records of the data, reviews, analysis, and reports in order to keep evidence for the purpose of disciplinary and legal action, and use them to prevent future incidents. To do the work accordingly, she should be aware of the company’s information security incident management policy beforehand
Among others, this policy specifies the type of records to be created, the place where they should be kept, and the format and content that specific record types should have.
Based on scenario 7, what should Anna be aware of when gathering data?
- A . The use of the buffer zone that blocks potential attacks coming from malicious websites where data can be collected
- B . The type of data that helps prevent future occurrences of information security incidents
- C . The collection and preservation of records
C
Explanation:
According to the ISO/IEC 27001 : 2022 standard, information security incident management is the process of ensuring a consistent and effective approach to the management of information security incidents, events and weaknesses. One of the objectives of this process is to collect and preserve evidence that can be used for disciplinary and legal action, as well as for learning and improvement. Therefore, Anna should be aware of the collection and preservation of records when gathering data for the forensics team. She should follow the information security incident management policy of InfoSec, which specifies the type, format, content and location of the records to be created and maintained. She should also ensure that the records are protected from unauthorized access, modification, deletion or disclosure, and that they are retained for an appropriate period of time.

Scenario 1: HealthGenic is a pediatric clinic that monitors the health and growth of individuals from infancy to early adulthood using a web-based medical software. The software is also used to schedule appointments, create customized medical reports, store patients’ data and medical history, and communicate with all the [^involved parties, including parents, other physicians, and the medical laboratory staff.
Last month, HealthGenic experienced a number of service interruptions due to the increased number of users accessing the software Another issue the company faced while using the software was the complicated user interface, which the untrained personnel found challenging to use.
The top management of HealthGenic immediately informed the company that had developed the software about the issue. The software company fixed the issue; however, in the process of doing so, it modified some files that comprised sensitive information related to HealthGenic’s patients. The modifications that were made resulted in incomplete and incorrect medical reports and, more importantly, invaded the patients’ privacy.
Intrinsic vulnerabilities, such as the______________ are related to the characteristics of the asset.
Refer to scenario 1.
- A . Software malfunction
- B . Service interruptions
- C . Complicated user interface
C
Explanation:
Intrinsic vulnerabilities are related to the characteristics of the asset that make it susceptible to threats, regardless of the presence or absence of controls. In scenario 1, the complicated user interface of the web-based medical software is an intrinsic vulnerability, as it is a feature of the software that makes it difficult to use and increases the likelihood of human errors. The software malfunction and the service interruptions are not intrinsic vulnerabilities, but rather incidents that occurred due to external factors, such as the increased number of users or the software company’s actions.
