Which of the following steps is necessary to effectively implement information security controls?

Scenario 9:

OpenTech, headquartered in San Francisco, specializes in information and communication technology (ICT) solutions. Its clientele primarily includes data communication enterprises and network operators. The company's core objective is to enable its clients to transition smoothly into multi-service providers, aligning their operations with the complex demands of the digital landscape.

Recently, Tim, the internal auditor of OpenTech, conducted an internal audit that uncovered nonconformities related to their monitoring procedures and system vulnerabilities. In response to these nonconformities, OpenTech decided to employ a comprehensive problem-solving approach to address the issues systematically. This method encompasses a team-oriented approach, aiming to identify, correct, and eliminate the root causes of the issues. The approach involves several steps: First, establish a group of experts with deep knowledge of processes and controls. Next, break down the nonconformity into measurable components and implement interim containment measures. Then, identify potential root causes and select and verify permanent corrective actions. Finally, put those actions into practice, validate them, take steps to prevent recurrence, and recognize and acknowledge the team's efforts.

Following the analysis of the root causes of the nonconformities, OpenTech's ISMS project manager, Julia, developed a list of potential actions to address the identified nonconformities. Julia carefully evaluated the list to ensure that each action would effectively eliminate the root cause of the respective nonconformity. While assessing potential corrective actions, Julia identified one issue as significant and assessed a high likelihood of its recurrence. Consequently, she chose to implement temporary corrective actions. Julia then combined all the nonconformities into a single action plan and sought approval from top management. The submitted action plan was written as follows:

"A new version of the access control policy will be established and new restrictions will be created to ensure that network access is effectively managed and monitored by the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Department."

However, Julia's submitted action plan was not approved by top management. The reason cited was that a general action plan meant to address all nonconformities was deemed unacceptable. Consequently, Julia revised the action plan and submitted separate ones for approval. Unfortunately, Julia did not adhere to the organization's specified deadline for submission, resulting in a delay in the corrective action process. Additionally, the revised action plans lacked a defined schedule for execution.

Did OpenTech have a plan in place to implement permanent corrective action to address the identified nonconformities?

Scenario 1: NobleFind is an online retailer specializing in high-end, custom-design furniture. The company offers a wide range of handcrafted pieces tailored to meet the needs of residential and commercial clients. NobleFind also provides expert design consultation services. Despite NobleFind's efforts to keep its online shop platform secure, the company faced persistent issues, including a recent data breach. These ongoing challenges disrupted normal operations and underscored the need for enhanced security measures. The designated IT team quickly responded to resolve the problem. To address these issues, NobleFind decided to implement an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001 to improve security, protect customer data, and ensure the stability of its services.

In addition to its commitment to information security, NobleFind focuses on maintaining the accuracy and completeness of its product data. This is ensured by carefully managing version control, checking information regularly, enforcing strict access policies, and implementing backup procedures. Moreover, product details and customer designs are accessible only to authorized individuals, with security measures such as multi-factor authentication and data access policies.

NobleFind has implemented an incident investigation process within its ISMS, as part of its comprehensive approach to information security. Additionally, it has established record retention policies to ensure that online information about each product and client information remains readily accessible and usable on demand for authorized entities. NobleFind established an information security policy offering clear guidelines for safeguarding historical data. It also insisted that personnel sign confidentiality agreements and were committed to recruiting only qualified individuals. Additionally, NobleFind implemented measures for monitoring the resources used by its systems, reviewing user access rights, and conducting a thorough analysis of audit logs to swiftly identify and address any security anomalies.

With its ISMS in place, NobleFind maintains and safeguards documented information, encompassing a wide range of data, records, and specifications. This documented information is vital to its operations, ensuring the security and integrity of customer data, historical records, and financial information.

According to scenario 1, which detective control did NobleFind implement?

Scenario 8: SunDee is an American biopharmaceutical company, headquartered in California, the US. It specializes in developing novel human therapeutics, with a focus on cardiovascular diseases, oncology, bone health, and inflammation. The company has had an information security management system (ISMS) based on SO/IEC 27001 in place for the past two years. However, it has not monitored or measured the performance and effectiveness of its ISMS and conducted management reviews regularly

Just before the recertification audit, the company decided to conduct an internal audit. It also asked most of their staff to compile the written individual reports of the past two years for their departments. This left the Production Department with less than the optimum workforce, which decreased the company's stock.

Tessa was SunDee's internal auditor. With multiple reports written by 50 different employees, the internal audit process took much longer than planned, was very inconsistent, and had no qualitative measures whatsoever Tessa concluded that SunDee must evaluate the performance of the ISMS adequately. She defined SunDee's negligence of ISMS performance evaluation as a major nonconformity, so she wrote a nonconformity report including the description of the nonconformity, the audit findings, and recommendations. Additionally, Tessa created a new plan which would enable SunDee to resolve these issues and presented it to the top management

How does SunDee's negligence affect the ISMS certificate? Refer to scenario 8.
