  • Question 163:

    Scenario 1: Fintive is a distinguished security provider for online payments and protection solutions. Founded in 1999 by Thomas Fin in San Jose, California, Fintive offers services to companies that operate online and want to improve their information security, prevent fraud, and protect user information such as PII. Fintive centers its decision-making and operating process based on previous cases. They gather customer data, classify them depending on the case, and analyze them. The company needed a

    large number of employees to be able to conduct such complex analyses. After some years, however, the technology that assists in conducting such analyses advanced as well. Now, Fintive is planning on using a modern tool, a chatbot, to achieve pattern analyses toward preventing fraud in real-time. This tool would also be used to assist in improving customer service.

    This initial idea was communicated to the software development team, who supported it and were assigned to work on this project. They began integrating the chatbot on their existing system. In addition, the team set an objective regarding the chatbot which was to answer 85% of all chat queries.

    After the successful integration of the chatbot, the company immediately released it to their customers for use.

    The chatbot, however, appeared to have some issues.

    Due to insufficient testing and lack of samples provided to the chatbot during the training phase, in which it was supposed "to learn" the queries pattern, the chatbot failed to address user queries and provide the right answers. Furthermore, the chatbot sent random files to users when it received invalid inputs such as odd patterns of dots and special characters. Therefore, the chatbot was unable to properly answer customer queries and the traditional customer support was overwhelmed with chat queries and

    thus was unable to help customers with their requests.

    Consequently, Fintive established a software development policy. This policy specified that whether the software is developed in-house or outsourced, it will undergo a black box testing prior to its implementation on operational systems.

    Based on this scenario, answer the following question:

    Insufficient testing and lack of samples provided to Fintive's chatbot during the training phase are considered as 1.Refer to scenario

    A. Threats
    B. Vulnerabilities
    C. Risks

  • Question 166:

    How are internal audits and external audits related?

    A. Internal audits ensure that the organization regularly monitors the external audit reports and action plans
    B. Internal audits ensure the implementation of the corrective actions before the organization is recommended for certification by the external auditor
    C. Internal audits and external audits are included in the certification cycle, which ensures the monitoring of the management system on a regular basis

  • Question 167:

    You are an ISMS audit team leader tasked with conducting a follow-up audit at a client's data centre.

  • Question 168:

    Scenario 6: Sinvestment is an insurance company that offers home, commercial, and life insurance. The company was founded in North Carolina, but have recently expanded in other locations, including Europe and Africa.

    Sinvestment is committed to complying with laws and regulations applicable to their industry and preventing any information security incident. They have implemented an ISMS based on ISO/IEC 27001 and have applied for ISO/IEC 27001 certification.

    Two auditors were assigned by the certification body to conduct the audit. After signing a confidentiality agreement with Sinvestment. they started the audit activities. First, they reviewed the documentation required by the standard, including the declaration of the ISMS scope, information security policies, and internal audits reports. The review process was not easy because, although Sinvestment stated that they had a documentation procedure in place, not all documents had the same format.

    Then, the audit team conducted several interviews with Sinvestment's top management to understand their role in the ISMS implementation. All activities of the stage 1 audit were performed remotely, except the review of documented information, which took place on-site, as requested by Sinvestment.

    During this stage, the auditors found out that there was no documentation related to information security training and awareness program. When asked, Sinvestment's representatives stated that the company has provided information security training sessions to all employees. Stage 1 audit gave the audit team a general understanding of Sinvestment's operations and ISMS.

    The stage 2 audit was conducted three weeks after stage 1 audit. The audit team observed that the marketing department (which was not included in the audit scope) had no procedures in place to control employees' access rights. Since controlling employees' access rights is one of the ISO/IEC 27001 requirements and was included in the information security policy of the company, the issue was included in the audit report. In addition, during stage 2 audit, the audit team observed that Sinvestment did not

    record logs of user activities. The procedures of the company stated that "Logs recording user activities should be retained and regularly reviewed," yet the company did not present any evidence of the implementation of such procedure.

    During all audit activities, the auditors used observation, interviews, documented information review, analysis, and technical verification to collect information and evidence. All the audit findings during stages 1 and 2 were analyzed and the audit team decided to issue a positive recommendation for certification.

    According to scenario 6, the marketing department employees were not following the access control policy.

    Which option is correct in this case?

    A. The marketing department is not included in the audit scope, so the issue should only be communicated to Sinvestment's representatives
    B. The employees' access right control is included in Sinvestment's information security policy, so the issue must be communicated to Sinvestment's representatives and included in the audit report
    C. Sinvestment is not controlling the employees' access rights, which represents a potential information security risk and should be reported as a major nonconformity

  • Question 170:

    Scenario:

    Webvue. headquartered in Japan, is a technology company specializing in the development, support, and maintenance of computer software. Webvue provides solutions across various technology fields and business sectors. Its flagship service is CloudWebvue, a comprehensive cloud computing platform offering storage, networking, and virtual computing services. Designed for both businesses and individual users. CloudWebvue is known for its flexibility, scalability, and reliability.

    Webvue has decided to only include CloudWebvue in its ISO/IEC 27001 certification scope. Thus, the stage 1 and 2 audits were performed simultaneously Webvue takes pride in its strictness regarding asset confidentiality They protect the information stored in CloudWebvue by using appropriate cryptographic controls. Every piece of information of any classification level, whether for internal use. restricted, or confidential, is first encrypted with a unique corresponding hash and then stored in the cloud

    The audit team comprised five persons Keith. Sean. Layla, Sam. and Tina. Keith, the most experienced auditor on the IT and information security auditing team, was the audit team leader. His responsibilities included planning the audit and managing the audit team. Sean and Layla were experienced in project planning, business analysis, and IT systems (hardware and application) Their tasks included audit planning according to Webvue's internal systems and processes Sam and Tina, on the other hand,

    who had recently completed their education, were responsible for completing the day- to-day tasks while developing their audit skills

    While verifying conformity to control 8.24 Use of cryptography of ISO/IEC 27001 Annex A through interviews with the relevant staff, the audit team found out that the cryptographic keys have been initially generated based on random bit generator (RBG) and other best practices for the generation of the cryptographic keys. After checking Webvue's cryptography policy, they concluded that the information obtained by the interviews was true. However, the cryptographic keys are still in use because the policy

    does not address the use and lifetime of cryptographic keys.

    As later agreed upon between Webvue and the certification body, the audit team opted to conduct a virtual audit specifically focused on verifying conformity to control 8.11 Data Masking of ISO/IEC 27001 within Webvue, aligning with the certification scope and audit objectives. They examined the processes involved in protecting data within CloudWebvue. focusing on how the company adhered to its policies and regulatory standards. As part of this process. Keith, the audit team leader, took screenshot

    copies of relevant documents and cryptographic key management procedures to document and analyze the effectiveness of Webvue's practices.

    Webvue uses generated test data for testing purposes. However, as determined by both the interview with the manager of the QA Department and the procedures used by this department, sometimes live system data are used. In such scenarios, large amounts of data are generated while producing more accurate results. The test data is protected and controlled, as verified by the simulation of the encryption process performed by Webvue's personnel during the audit

    While interviewing the manager of the QA Department, Keith observed that employees in the Security Training Department were not following proper procedures, even though this department fell outside the audit scope. Despite the exclusion in the audit scope, the non conformity in the Security Training Department has potential implications for the processes within the audit scope, specifically impacting data security and cryptographic practices in CloudWebvue. Therefore, Keith incorporated this finding into

    the audit report and accordingly informed the auditee.

    Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:

    Question:

    Based on Scenario, which audit procedure was used to verify conformity to the use of test data?

    A. Documented information review
    B. Corroboration
    C. Technical verification
