NeuroTrustMed is a leading medical technology company based in Seoul, South Korea. The company specializes in developing AI-assisted neuroimaging solutions used in early diagnosis and treatment planning for neurological disorders. As a data-intensive company handling sensitive patient health records and medical research data, NeuroTrustMed places a strong emphasis on cybersecurity and regulatory compliance. The company has maintained an ISO/IEC 27001-certified ISMS for the past three years. It continuously reviews and improves its ISMS to address emerging threats, support innovation in medical diagnostics, and maintain stakeholder trust. As part of its commitment to continual improvement, NeuroTrustMed actively tracks potential nonconformities, performs root-cause analyses, implements corrective and preventive actions, and ensures all changes are documented and aligned with the company’s strategic objectives. When a new data protection regulation came into effect affecting cross-regional data handling, the information security team conducted a gap assessment between current policies and the new regulation. Then, it updated relevant documentation and processes to meet compliance. Following these revisions, NeuroTrustMed updated the ISMS documentation and added a new entry in the improvement register. The register, maintained in the form of a structured spreadsheet, included a unique change number, a description of the update, and a high-priority classification due to legal compliance, the dates of initiation and completion, and the sign-off by the information security manager. Around the same period, during a scheduled management review, the information security team also identified a pattern of onboarding errors. While these had not resulted in any data breaches, they posed a risk of unauthorized access. In response, the onboarding procedure was revised and an automated verification step was added to ensure accuracy before access is granted. To understand the underlying cause, the team collected data on the provisioning process. They analyzed process logs, interviewed onboarding staff, and traced access errors back to a misconfigured step in the HR-to-IT handover workflow. The team validated this finding through test cases before implementing any changes. Once confirmed, the information security team documented the nonconformity in the ISMS log. The documentation included a description of the issue, impacted systems, affected users, and a brief risk assessment of potential consequences related to access management. Based on the scenario above, answer the following question.
Which audit phase was conducted after the issue with the audit team was resolved?
Scenario 2: Beauty is a cosmetics company that has recently switched to an e-commerce model, leaving the traditional retail. The top management has decided to build their own custom platform in-house and outsource the payment process to an external provider operating online payments systems that support online money transfers.
Due to this transformation of the business model, a number of security controls were implemented based on the identified threats and vulnerabilities associated to critical assets. To protect customers' information. Beauty's employees had to sign a confidentiality agreement. In addition, the company reviewed all user access rights so that only authorized personnel can have access to sensitive files and drafted a new segregation of duties chart.
However, the transition was difficult for the IT team, who had to deal with a security incident not long after transitioning to the e commerce model. After investigating the incident, the team concluded that due to the out-of-date anti-malware software, an attacker gamed access to their files and exposed customers' information, including their names and home addresses.
The IT team decided to stop using the old anti-malware software and install a new one which would automatically remove malicious code in case of similar incidents. The new software was installed in every workstation within the company. After installing the new software, the team updated it with the latest malware definitions and enabled the automatic update feature to keep it up to date at all times. Additionally, they established an authentication process that requires a user identification and password when accessing sensitive information.
In addition, Beauty conducted a number of information security awareness sessions for the IT team and other employees that have access to confidential information in order to raise awareness on the importance of system and network security.
Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:

Then, the ISMS project manager analyzed the list and selected the activities that would allow the elimination of the root cause and the prevention of a similar situation in the future. These activities were included in an action plan The action plan, approved by the top management, was written as follows:
