Scenario 6: Productscape is a market research company headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. It helps organizations understand the needs and expectations of their customers and identify new business opportunities. Productscape's teams have extensive experience in marketing and business strategy and work with some of the best-known organizations in Europe. The industry in which Productscape operates requires effective risk management. Considering that Productscape has access to clients' confidential information, it is responsible for ensuring its security. As such, the company conducts regular risk assessments. The top management appointed Alex as the risk manager, who is responsible for monitoring the risk management process and treating information security risks.
The last risk assessment conducted was focused on information assets. The purpose of this risk assessment was to identify information security risks, understand their level, and take appropriate action to treat them in order to ensure the security of their systems. Alex established a team of three members to perform the risk assessment activities. Each team member was responsible for specific departments included in the risk assessment scope. The risk assessment provided valuable information to identify, understand, and mitigate the risks that Productscape faces.
Initially, the team identified potential risks based on the risk identification results. Prior to analyzing the identified risks, the risk acceptance criteria were established. The criteria for accepting the risks were determined based on Productscape's objectives, operations, and technology. The team created various risk scenarios and determined the likelihood of occurrence as "low," "medium," or "high." They decided that if the likelihood of occurrence for a risk scenario is determined as "low," no further action would be taken. On the other hand, if the likelihood of occurrence for a risk scenario is determined as "high" or "medium," additional controls will be implemented. Some information security risk scenarios defined by Productscape's team were as follows:
1. A cyber attacker exploits a security misconfiguration vulnerability of Productscape's website to launch an attack, which, in turn, could make the website unavailable to users.
2. A cyber attacker gains access to confidential information of clients and may threaten to make the information publicly available unless a ransom is paid.
3. An internal employee clicks on a link embedded in an email that redirects them to an unsecured website, installing a malware on the device.
The likelihood of occurrence for the first risk scenario was determined as "medium." One of the main reasons that such a risk could occur was the usage of default accounts and password. Attackers could exploit this vulnerability and launch a brute-force attack. Therefore, Productscape decided to start using an automated "build and deploy" process which would test the software on deploy and minimize the likelihood of such an incident from happening. However, the team made it clear that the implementation of this process would not eliminate the risk completely and that there was still a low possibility for this risk to occur. Productscape documented the remaining risk and decided to monitor it for changes.
The likelihood of occurrence for the second risk scenario was determined as "medium." Productscape decided to contract an IT company that would provide technical assistance and monitor the company's systems and networks in order to prevent such incidents from happening.
The likelihood of occurrence for the third risk scenario was determined as "high." Thus, Productscape decided to include phishing as a topic on their information security training sessions. In addition, Alex reviewed the controls of Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001 in order to determine the necessary controls for treating this risk. Alex decided to implement control A.8.23 Web filtering which would help the company to reduce the risk of accessing unsecure websites. Although security controls were implemented to treat the risk, the level of the residual risk still did not meet the risk acceptance criteria defined in the beginning of the risk assessment process. Since the cost of implementing additional controls was too high for the company, Productscape decided to accept the residual risk. Therefore, risk owners were assigned the responsibility of managing the residual risk.
Based on scenario 6, Productscape decided to monitor the remaining risk after risk treatment. Is this necessary?
- A. No, there is no need to monitor risks that meet the risk acceptance criteria
- B. No, unless the risk has a severe impact if it occurs, there is no need to monitor the risk
- C. Yes, the remaining risk after risk treatment should be monitored and reviewed
正解：C
解説：
ISO/IEC 27005 advises that even after risks have been treated, any residual risks should be continuously monitored and reviewed. This is necessary to ensure that they remain within acceptable levels and that any changes in the internal or external environment do not escalate the risk beyond acceptable thresholds. Monitoring also ensures that the effectiveness of the controls remains adequate over time. Option A is incorrect because all risks, including those meeting the risk acceptance criteria, should be monitored. Option B is incorrect because monitoring is necessary regardless of the perceived severity if it occurs, to detect changes early.

Scenario 8: Biotide is a pharmaceutical company that produces medication for treating different kinds of diseases. The company was founded in 1997, and since then it has contributed in solving some of the most challenging healthcare issues.
As a pharmaceutical company, Biotide operates in an environment associated with complex risks. As such, the company focuses on risk management strategies that ensure the effective management of risks to develop high-quality medication. With the large amount of sensitive information generated from the company, managing information security risks is certainly an important part of the overall risk management process. Biotide utilizes a publicly available methodology for conducting risk assessment related to information assets. This methodology helps Biotide to perform risk assessment by taking into account its objectives and mission. Following this method, the risk management process is organized into four activity areas, each of them involving a set of activities, as provided below.
1. Activity area 1: The organization determines the criteria against which the effects of a risk occurring can be evaluated. In addition, the impacts of risks are also defined.
2. Activity area 2: The purpose of the second activity area is to create information asset profiles. The organization identifies critical information assets, their owners, as well as the security requirements for those assets. After determining the security requirements, the organization prioritizes them. In addition, the organization identifies the systems that store, transmit, or process information.
3. Activity area 3: The organization identifies the areas of concern which initiates the risk identification process. In addition, the organization analyzes and determines the probability of the occurrence of possible threat scenarios.
4. Activity area 4: The organization identifies and evaluates the risks. In addition, the criteria specified in activity area 1 is reviewed and the consequences of the areas of concerns are evaluated. Lastly, the level of identified risks is determined.
The table below provides an example of how Biotide assesses the risks related to its information assets following this methodology:
Based on the table provided in scenario 8, did Biotide prioritize the security requirements for electronic health records?
- A. No, Biotide did not prioritize security requirements for electronic health records
- B. Yes, Biotide determined confidentiality as the most important security requirement for electronic health records
- C. Yes, Biotide prioritized the security requirements for electronic health records when prioritizing the areas of concern
正解：B
解説：
Based on the table provided in Scenario 8, Biotide has prioritized the security requirements for its electronic health records. In Activity Area 2, the table clearly indicates that confidentiality is considered the most important security feature for electronic health records. This prioritization is based on the need to ensure that only authorized users have access to these critical information assets due to the sensitive nature of the data involved.
The emphasis on confidentiality aligns with ISO/IEC 27005 guidelines, which recommend prioritizing security requirements based on the impact assessment and the organization's risk management objectives. In this case, the potential impact of unauthorized access (breach of confidentiality) to electronic health records is high, which justifies Biotide's decision to prioritize confidentiality over other security requirements such as integrity or availability.
Option A is correct because it reflects the prioritization decision documented in the table, while options B and C are inaccurate as they either misrepresent the prioritization process or suggest that it did not occur.
質問 # 29
Which statement regarding information gathering techniques is correct?
- A. Sending questionnaires to a group of people who represent the interested parties is NOT preferred
- B. Organizations can utilize technical tools to identify technical vulnerabilities and compile a list of assets that influence risk assessment
- C. Interviews should be conducted only with individuals responsible for information security management
正解：B
解説：
ISO/IEC 27005 supports the use of various information-gathering techniques, including technical tools, to identify and assess risks. Technical tools such as vulnerability scanners and asset management software can help organizations identify technical vulnerabilities and compile a list of assets that are critical for risk assessment. This aligns with the standard's recommendation to use automated tools for an effective risk assessment process. Option B is correct because it accurately describes an effective information-gathering technique.
Reference:
ISO/IEC 27005:2018, Clause 8.2, "Risk Identification," which discusses using tools and techniques to identify risks.
質問 # 30
Scenario 1
The risk assessment process was led by Henry, Bontton's risk manager. The first step that Henry took was identifying the company's assets. Afterward, Henry created various potential incident scenarios. One of the main concerns regarding the use of the application was the possibility of being targeted by cyber attackers, as a great number of organizations were experiencing cyberattacks during that time. After analyzing the identified risks, Henry evaluated them and concluded that new controls must be implemented if the company wants to use the application. Among others, he stated that training should be provided to personnel regarding the use of the application and that awareness sessions should be conducted regarding the importance of protecting customers' personal data.
Lastly, Henry communicated the risk assessment results to the top management. They decided that the application will be used only after treating the identified risks.
Based on scenario 1, Bontton used ISO/IEC 27005 to ensure effective implementation of all ISO/IEC 27001 requirements. Is this appropriate?
- A. Yes, ISO/IEC 27005 provides direct guidance on the implementation of the requirements given in ISO/IEC 27001
- B. No, ISO/IEC 27005 does not contain direct guidance on the implementation of all requirements given in ISO/IEC 27001
- C. Yes, ISO/IEC 27005 provides a number of methodologies that can be used under the risk management framework for implementing all requirements given in ISO/IEC 27001
正解：B
解説：
ISO/IEC 27005 is an international standard specifically focused on providing guidelines for information security risk management within the context of an organization's overall Information Security Management System (ISMS). It does not provide direct guidance on implementing the specific requirements of ISO/IEC 27001, which is a standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS. Instead, ISO/IEC 27005 provides a framework for managing risks that could affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets. Therefore, while ISO/IEC 27005 supports the risk management process that is crucial for compliance with ISO/IEC 27001, it does not contain specific guidelines or methodologies for implementing all the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001. This makes option C the correct answer.
Reference:
ISO/IEC 27005:2018, "Information Security Risk Management," which emphasizes risk management guidance rather than direct implementation of ISO/IEC 27001 requirements.
ISO/IEC 27001:2013, Clause 6.1.2, "Information Security Risk Assessment," where risk assessment and treatment options are outlined but not in a prescriptive manner found in ISO/IEC 27005.

4. Activity area 4: The organization identifies and evaluates the risks. In addition, the criteria specified in activity area 1 is reviewed and the consequences of the areas of concerns are evaluated. Lastly, the level of identified risks is determined.
The table below provides an example of how Biotide assesses the risks related to its information assets following this methodology:
Based on scenario 8, how should Biotide use the criteria defined in the activity area 1?
- A. To determine the probability of threat scenarios
- B. To identify the assets on which information is stored
- C. To evaluate the potential impact of the risk on Biotide's objectives
正解：C
解説：
According to ISO/IEC 27005, which provides guidelines for information security risk management, the criteria defined in Activity Area 1 are used to establish the foundation for evaluating the effects of a risk event on an organization's objectives. This is the first step in the risk management process, where the organization must identify its risk evaluation criteria, including the impact levels and their corresponding definitions.
In the context of Biotide, Activity Area 1 involves determining the criteria against which the effects of a risk occurring can be evaluated and defining the impacts of those risks. This directly aligns with ISO/IEC 27005 guidance, where the purpose of setting criteria is to ensure that the potential impact of any risk on the organization's objectives, such as reputation, customer confidence, and legal implications, is comprehensively understood and appropriately managed.
Option A, "To evaluate the potential impact of the risk on Biotide's objectives," is correct because it accurately describes the purpose of defining such criteria: to provide a consistent basis for assessing how various risk scenarios might affect the organization's ability to meet its strategic and operational goals.
Options B and C, which focus on identifying assets or determining the probability of threats, are related to later stages in the risk management process (specifically, Activities 2 and 3), where information assets are profiled and potential threat scenarios are analyzed. Therefore, these do not correspond to the initial criteria definition purpose outlined in Activity Area 1.

Which of the following risk assessment methods provides an information security risk assessment methodology and involves three phases build asset-based threat profiles, identify infrastructure vulnerabilities, and develop security strategy and plans?
- A. MEHARI
- B. OCTAVE-S
- C. TRA
正解：B
解説：
OCTAVE-S (Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation for Small Organizations) is a risk assessment methodology tailored for small organizations. It provides a structured approach for identifying and managing information security risks. The OCTAVE-S method involves three main phases:
Building asset-based threat profiles, where critical assets and their associated threats are identified.
Identifying infrastructure vulnerabilities by assessing the organization's technological infrastructure for weaknesses that could be exploited by threats.
Developing security strategy and plans to address the identified risks and improve the overall security posture.
The OCTAVE-S method aligns with the description provided in the question, making it the correct answer. MEHARI and TRA are other risk assessment methods, but they do not specifically follow the three phases outlined above.

Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:
Which risk treatment option was used for the first risk scenario?
- A. Risk sharing
- B. Risk avoidance
- C. Risk modification
正解：C
解説：
Risk modification involves implementing measures to reduce the likelihood or impact of a risk. In the first risk scenario, Productscape decided to use an automated "build and deploy" process to reduce the likelihood of an attacker exploiting a security misconfiguration vulnerability. This action aims to lower the risk to an acceptable level, which is characteristic of risk modification. Option B (Risk avoidance) would involve eliminating the risk by avoiding the activity altogether, which is not what was done. Option C (Risk sharing) involves transferring some or all of the risk to a third party, which is not applicable in this scenario.

Scenario 2: Travivve is a travel agency that operates in more than 100 countries. Headquartered in San Francisco, the US, the agency is known for its personalized vacation packages and travel services. Travivve aims to deliver reliable services that meet its clients' needs. Considering the impact of information security in its reputation, Travivve decided to implement an information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001. In addition, they decided to establish and implement an information security risk management program. Based on the priority of specific departments in Travivve, the top management decided to initially apply the risk management process only in the Sales Management Department. The process would be applicable for other departments only when introducing new technology.
Travivve's top management wanted to make sure that the risk management program is established based on the industry best practices. Therefore, they created a team of three members that would be responsible for establishing and implementing it. One of the team members was Travivve's risk manager who was responsible for supervising the team and planning all risk management activities. In addition, the risk manager was responsible for monitoring the program and reporting the monitoring results to the top management.
Initially, the team decided to analyze the internal and external context of Travivve. As part of the process of understanding the organization and its context, the team identified key processes and activities. Then, the team identified the interested parties and their basic requirements and determined the status of compliance with these requirements. In addition, the team identified all the reference documents that applied to the defined scope of the risk management process, which mainly included the Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001 and the internal security rules established by Travivve. Lastly, the team analyzed both reference documents and justified a few noncompliances with those requirements.
The risk manager selected the information security risk management method which was aligned with other approaches used by the company to manage other risks. The team also communicated the risk management process to all interested parties through previously established communication mechanisms. In addition, they made sure to inform all interested parties about their roles and responsibilities regarding risk management. Travivve also decided to involve interested parties in its risk management activities since, according to the top management, this process required their active participation.
Lastly, Travivve's risk management team decided to conduct the initial information security risk assessment process. As such, the team established the criteria for performing the information security risk assessment which included the consequence criteria and likelihood criteria.
Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:
Travivve decided to initially apply the risk management process only in the Sales Management Department. Is this acceptable?
- A. Yes, the risk management process must be applied to only those departments that handle customers' personal information in an organization
- B. No, the risk management process must be applied in all organizational levels
- C. Yes, the risk management process may be applied to only a subset of departments in an organization
正解：C
解説：
ISO/IEC 27005 provides guidance on risk management for information security, and it allows flexibility in applying the risk management process to different parts of an organization. The decision to initially apply the risk management process only to the Sales Management Department is acceptable under ISO/IEC 27005, as the standard supports the selective application of risk management activities based on the specific needs and priorities of the organization. This is in line with risk management best practices, where organizations may focus on critical areas first (such as high-risk departments or those that handle sensitive information) and later expand the process as needed. Therefore, applying the risk management process to a subset of departments is appropriate, making option B the correct answer.
Reference:
ISO/IEC 27005:2018, Clause 7, "Context Establishment," which allows defining the scope and boundaries of risk management as relevant to the organization's needs.
ISO/IEC 27001:2013, Clause 4.3, "Determining the scope of the information security management system," which also permits defining a scope based on priorities and relevance.
質問 # 35
Which activity below is NOT included in the information security risk assessment process?
- A. Determining the risk identification approach
- B. Selecting information security risk treatment options
- C. Prioritizing risks for risk treatment
正解：B
解説：
The information security risk assessment process, as outlined in ISO/IEC 27005, typically includes identifying risks, assessing their potential impact, and prioritizing them. However, selecting risk treatment options is not part of the risk assessment process itself; it is part of the subsequent risk treatment phase. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it is not included in the risk assessment process.

1. Activity area 1: The organization determines the criteria against which the effects of a risk occurring can be evaluated. In addition, the impacts of risks are also defined.
2. Activity area 2: The purpose of the second activity area is to create information asset profiles. The organization identifies critical information assets, their owners, as well as the security requirements for those assets. After determining the security requirements, the organization prioritizes them. In addition, the organization identifies the systems that store, transmit, or process information.
3. Activity area 3: The organization identifies the areas of concern which initiates the risk identification process. In addition, the organization analyzes and determines the probability of the occurrence of possible threat scenarios.
4. Activity area 4: The organization identifies and evaluates the risks. In addition, the criteria specified in activity area 1 is reviewed and the consequences of the areas of concerns are evaluated. Lastly, the level of identified risks is determined.
The table below provides an example of how Biotide assesses the risks related to its information assets following this methodology:
According to the risk assessment methodology used by Biotide, what else should be performed during activity area 4? Refer to scenario 8.
- A. Create a strategic and operational plan
- B. Monitor security controls for ensuring they are appropriate for new threats
- C. Select a mitigation strategy for the identified risk profiles
正解：C
解説：
In Activity Area 4 of the risk assessment methodology used by Biotide, the focus is on identifying and evaluating risks, reviewing the criteria defined in Activity Area 1, and evaluating the consequences of identified areas of concern to determine the level of risk. However, an essential part of completing a risk assessment process also includes determining appropriate mitigation strategies for the identified risks.
ISO/IEC 27005 provides guidance on selecting and implementing security measures to manage the risk to an acceptable level. Therefore, selecting a mitigation strategy for the identified risk profiles is a crucial next step. This involves deciding on controls or measures that will reduce either the likelihood of the threat exploiting the vulnerability or the impact of the risk should it occur. Thus, the correct answer is B.
Reference:
ISO/IEC 27005:2018, Section 8.3.5 "Risk treatment" outlines the process of selecting appropriate risk treatment options (mitigation strategies) once risks have been identified and evaluated.
質問 # 37
Scenario 5: Detika is a private cardiology clinic in Pennsylvania, the US. Detika has one of the most advanced healthcare systems for treating heart diseases. The clinic uses sophisticated apparatus that detects heart diseases in early stages. Since 2010, medical information of Detika's patients is stored on the organization's digital systems. Electronic health records (EHR), among others, include patients' diagnosis, treatment plan, and laboratory results.
Storing and accessing patient and other medical data digitally was a huge and a risky step for Detik a. Considering the sensitivity of information stored in their systems, Detika conducts regular risk assessments to ensure that all information security risks are identified and managed. Last month, Detika conducted a risk assessment which was focused on the EHR system. During risk identification, the IT team found out that some employees were not updating the operating systems regularly. This could cause major problems such as a data breach or loss of software compatibility. In addition, the IT team tested the software and detected a flaw in one of the software modules used. Both issues were reported to the top management and they decided to implement appropriate controls for treating the identified risks. They decided to organize training sessions for all employees in order to make them aware of the importance of the system updates. In addition, the manager of the IT Department was appointed as the person responsible for ensuring that the software is regularly tested.
Another risk identified during the risk assessment was the risk of a potential ransomware attack. This risk was defined as low because all their data was backed up daily. The IT team decided to accept the actual risk of ransomware attacks and concluded that additional measures were not required. This decision was documented in the risk treatment plan and communicated to the risk owner. The risk owner approved the risk treatment plan and documented the risk assessment results.
Following that, Detika initiated the implementation of new controls. In addition, one of the employees of the IT Department was assigned the responsibility for monitoring the implementation process and ensure the effectiveness of the security controls. The IT team, on the other hand, was responsible for allocating the resources needed to effectively implement the new controls.
Based on scenario 5, the IT team was responsible for allocating the necessary resources to ensure that the new controls are implemented effectively. Is this acceptable?
- A. No, the necessary resources for treating the risk should be allocated in the beginning of the risk assessment process
- B. Yes, the team that is responsible for conducting the risk assessment should ensure that the necessary resources for treating the risk are allocated
- C. No, the organization should allocate the necessary resources to ensure the effective implementation of the risk treatment plan
正解：B
解説：
According to ISO/IEC 27005, the team responsible for the risk assessment is often tasked with coordinating the resources necessary to treat identified risks effectively. This includes ensuring that the resources required for implementing risk treatment actions, such as financial, technical, and human resources, are available and allocated appropriately. Option B is incorrect because it is not only the organization that allocates resources, but rather a combined effort involving the risk management team to ensure proper allocation. Option C is incorrect because resources must be managed and allocated continually throughout the risk management process, not just at the beginning.

Scenario 6: Productscape is a market research company headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. It helps organizations understand the needs and expectations of their customers and identify new business opportunities. Productscape's teams have extensive experience in marketing and business strategy and work with some of the best-known organizations in Europe. The industry in which Productscape operates requires effective risk management. Considering that Productscape has access to clients' confidential information, it is responsible for ensuring its security. As such, the company conducts regular risk assessments. The top management appointed Alex as the risk manager, who is responsible for monitoring the risk management process and treating information security risks.
The last risk assessment conducted was focused on information assets. The purpose of this risk assessment was to identify information security risks, understand their level, and take appropriate action to treat them in order to ensure the security of their systems. Alex established a team of three members to perform the risk assessment activities. Each team member was responsible for specific departments included in the risk assessment scope. The risk assessment provided valuable information to identify, understand, and mitigate the risks that Productscape faces.
Initially, the team identified potential risks based on the risk identification results. Prior to analyzing the identified risks, the risk acceptance criteria were established. The criteria for accepting the risks were determined based on Productscape's objectives, operations, and technology. The team created various risk scenarios and determined the likelihood of occurrence as "low," "medium," or "high." They decided that if the likelihood of occurrence for a risk scenario is determined as "low," no further action would be taken. On the other hand, if the likelihood of occurrence for a risk scenario is determined as "high" or "medium," additional controls will be implemented. Some information security risk scenarios defined by Productscape's team were as follows:
1. A cyber attacker exploits a security misconfiguration vulnerability of Productscape's website to launch an attack, which, in turn, could make the website unavailable to users.
2. A cyber attacker gains access to confidential information of clients and may threaten to make the information publicly available unless a ransom is paid.
3. An internal employee clicks on a link embedded in an email that redirects them to an unsecured website, installing a malware on the device.
The likelihood of occurrence for the first risk scenario was determined as "medium." One of the main reasons that such a risk could occur was the usage of default accounts and password. Attackers could exploit this vulnerability and launch a brute-force attack. Therefore, Productscape decided to start using an automated "build and deploy" process which would test the software on deploy and minimize the likelihood of such an incident from happening. However, the team made it clear that the implementation of this process would not eliminate the risk completely and that there was still a low possibility for this risk to occur. Productscape documented the remaining risk and decided to monitor it for changes.
The likelihood of occurrence for the second risk scenario was determined as "medium." Productscape decided to contract an IT company that would provide technical assistance and monitor the company's systems and networks in order to prevent such incidents from happening.
The likelihood of occurrence for the third risk scenario was determined as "high." Thus, Productscape decided to include phishing as a topic on their information security training sessions. In addition, Alex reviewed the controls of Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001 in order to determine the necessary controls for treating this risk. Alex decided to implement control A.8.23 Web filtering which would help the company to reduce the risk of accessing unsecure websites. Although security controls were implemented to treat the risk, the level of the residual risk still did not meet the risk acceptance criteria defined in the beginning of the risk assessment process. Since the cost of implementing additional controls was too high for the company, Productscape decided to accept the residual risk. Therefore, risk owners were assigned the responsibility of managing the residual risk.
Which risk treatment option was used for the second risk scenario? Refer to scenario 6.
- A. Risk retention
- B. Risk avoidance
- C. Risk sharing
正解：C
解説：
Risk sharing, also known as risk transfer, involves sharing the risk with another party, such as through insurance or outsourcing certain activities to third-party vendors. In Scenario 6, Productscape decided to contract an IT company to provide technical assistance and monitor the company's systems and networks to prevent incidents related to the second risk scenario (gaining access to confidential information and threatening to make it public unless a ransom is paid). This is an example of risk sharing because Productscape transferred part of the risk management responsibilities to an external company. Thus, the correct answer is C, Risk sharing.
Reference:
ISO/IEC 27005:2018, Clause 8.6, "Risk Treatment," which includes risk sharing as an option where a third party is used to manage specific risks.

Scenario 3: Printary is an American company that offers digital printing services. Creating cost-effective and creative products, the company has been part of the printing industry for more than 30 years. Three years ago, the company started to operate online, providing greater flexibility for its clients. Through the website, clients could find information about all services offered by Printary and order personalized products. However, operating online increased the risk of cyber threats, consequently, impacting the business functions of the company. Thus, along with the decision of creating an online business, the company focused on managing information security risks. Their risk management program was established based on ISO/IEC 27005 guidelines and industry best practices.
Last year, the company considered the integration of an online payment system on its website in order to provide more flexibility and transparency to customers. Printary analyzed various available solutions and selected Pay0, a payment processing solution that allows any company to easily collect payments on their website. Before making the decision, Printary conducted a risk assessment to identify and analyze information security risks associated with the software. The risk assessment process involved three phases: identification, analysis, and evaluation. During risk identification, the company inspected assets, threats, and vulnerabilities. In addition, to identify the information security risks, Printary used a list of the identified events that could negatively affect the achievement of information security objectives. The risk identification phase highlighted two main threats associated with the online payment system: error in use and data corruption After conducting a gap analysis, the company concluded that the existing security controls were sufficient to mitigate the threat of data corruption. However, the user interface of the payment solution was complicated, which could increase the risk associated with user errors, and, as a result, impact data integrity and confidentiality.
Subsequently, the risk identification results were analyzed. The company conducted risk analysis in order to understand the nature of the identified risks. They decided to use a quantitative risk analysis methodology because it would provide more detailed information. The selected risk analysis methodology was consistent with the risk evaluation criteri a. Firstly, they used a list of potential incident scenarios to assess their potential impact. In addition, the likelihood of incident scenarios was defined and assessed. Finally, the level of risk was defined as low.
In the end, the level of risk was compared to the risk evaluation and acceptance criteria and was prioritized accordingly.
Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:
What type of risk identification approach did Printary use?
- A. Event-based approach
- B. Threat-based approach
- C. Asset-based approach
正解：A
解説：
An event-based approach to risk identification focuses on identifying events that could negatively affect the achievement of the organization's objectives. In the scenario, Printary used a list of identified events (e.g., errors in use and data corruption) that could negatively impact their information security objectives. This indicates that they considered specific events that might lead to information security incidents, which is characteristic of an event-based approach. Option B is correct because it aligns with the method described in the scenario. Option A (Asset-based approach) focuses on identifying risks based on assets, while Option C (Threat-based approach) focuses on threats rather than specific events, making them both incorrect in this context.

Scenario 1
The risk assessment process was led by Henry, Bontton's risk manager. The first step that Henry took was identifying the company's assets. Afterward, Henry created various potential incident scenarios. One of the main concerns regarding the use of the application was the possibility of being targeted by cyber attackers, as a great number of organizations were experiencing cyberattacks during that time. After analyzing the identified risks, Henry evaluated them and concluded that new controls must be implemented if the company wants to use the application. Among others, he stated that training should be provided to personnel regarding the use of the application and that awareness sessions should be conducted regarding the importance of protecting customers' personal data.
Lastly, Henry communicated the risk assessment results to the top management. They decided that the application will be used only after treating the identified risks.
According to scenario 1, what type of controls did Henry suggest?
- A. Managerial
- B. Administrative
- C. Technical
正解：B
解説：
In the context of Scenario 1, the controls suggested by Henry, such as training personnel on the use of the application and conducting awareness sessions on protecting customers' personal data, fall under the category of "Administrative" controls. Administrative controls are policies, procedures, guidelines, and training programs designed to manage the human factors of information security. These controls are aimed at reducing the risks associated with human behavior, such as lack of awareness or improper handling of sensitive data, and are distinct from "Technical" controls (like firewalls or encryption) and "Managerial" controls (which include risk management strategies and governance frameworks).
Reference:
ISO/IEC 27005:2018, Annex A, "Controls and Safeguards," which mentions the importance of administrative controls, such as awareness training and the development of policies, to mitigate identified risks.
ISO/IEC 27001:2013, Annex A, Control A.7.2.2, "Information security awareness, education, and training," which directly relates to administrative controls for personnel security.

Scenario 4: In 2017, seeing that millions of people turned to online shopping, Ed and James Cordon founded the online marketplace for footwear called Poshoe. In the past, purchasing pre-owned designer shoes online was not a pleasant experience because of unattractive pictures and an inability to ascertain the products' authenticity. However, after Poshoe's establishment, each product was well advertised and certified as authentic before being offered to clients. This increased the customers' confidence and trust in Poshoe's products and services. Poshoe has approximately four million users and its mission is to dominate the second-hand sneaker market and become a multi-billion dollar company.
Due to the significant increase of daily online buyers, Poshoe's top management decided to adopt a big data analytics tool that could help the company effectively handle, store, and analyze dat a. Before initiating the implementation process, they decided to conduct a risk assessment. Initially, the company identified its assets, threats, and vulnerabilities associated with its information systems. In terms of assets, the company identified the information that was vital to the achievement of the organization's mission and objectives. During this phase, the company also detected a rootkit in their software, through which an attacker could remotely access Poshoe's systems and acquire sensitive data.
The company discovered that the rootkit had been installed by an attacker who had gained administrator access. As a result, the attacker was able to obtain the customers' personal data after they purchased a product from Poshoe. Luckily, the company was able to execute some scans from the target device and gain greater visibility into their software's settings in order to identify the vulnerability of the system.
The company initially used the qualitative risk analysis technique to assess the consequences and the likelihood and to determine the level of risk. The company defined the likelihood of risk as "a few times in two years with the probability of 1 to 3 times per year." Later, it was decided that they would use a quantitative risk analysis methodology since it would provide additional information on this major risk. Lastly, the top management decided to treat the risk immediately as it could expose the company to other issues. In addition, it was communicated to their employees that they should update, secure, and back up Poshoe's software in order to protect customers' personal information and prevent unauthorized access from attackers.
According to scenario 4, Poshoe has identified its assets, vulnerabilities, and threats associated with its information systems. What does the company need in order to start identifying its existing controls?
- A. A list of all existing and planned controls
- B. The risk treatment implementation plan and documentation of controls
- C. A list of incident scenarios with their consequences
正解：A
解説：
To start identifying its existing controls, Poshoe needs a list of all existing and planned controls. This list will provide the necessary baseline to understand what security measures are already in place and what measures are planned to mitigate risks. This helps in determining gaps, evaluating the effectiveness of current controls, and identifying areas requiring improvement. Option A (The risk treatment implementation plan and documentation of controls) is incorrect because it is too specific and assumes a level of completion not indicated in the scenario. Option C (A list of incident scenarios with their consequences) is incorrect as it pertains to the analysis phase of risk management, not the identification of existing controls.

Based on scenario 3, what does the complicated user interface of the software which could lead to error present?
- A. A vulnerability
- B. An asset
- C. A threat
正解：A
解説：
ISO/IEC 27005 defines a vulnerability as a weakness in an asset or control that could potentially be exploited by one or more threats. In the scenario, the complicated user interface of the payment software represents a weakness that could lead to user errors, potentially impacting data integrity and confidentiality. This aligns with the definition of a vulnerability, as it is a weakness that could be exploited by threats (e.g., errors in use). Therefore, the complicated user interface is correctly identified as a vulnerability, making option A the correct answer.
Reference:
ISO/IEC 27005:2018, Clause 8.3, "Risk Identification," where vulnerabilities are identified as weaknesses that can be exploited by threats.

Scenario 7: Adstry is a business growth agency that specializes in digital marketing strategies. Adstry helps organizations redefine the relationships with their customers through innovative solutions. Adstry is headquartered in San Francisco and recently opened two new offices in New York. The structure of the company is organized into teams which are led by project managers. The project manager has the full power in any decision related to projects. The team members, on the other hand, report the project's progress to project managers.
Considering that data breaches and ad fraud are common threats in the current business environment, managing risks is essential for Adstry. When planning new projects, each project manager is responsible for ensuring that risks related to a particular project have been identified, assessed, and mitigated. This means that project managers have also the role of the risk manager in Adstry. Taking into account that Adstry heavily relies on technology to complete their projects, their risk assessment certainly involves identification of risks associated with the use of information technology. At the earliest stages of each project, the project manager communicates the risk assessment results to its team members.
Adstry uses a risk management software which helps the project team to detect new potential risks during each phase of the project. This way, team members are informed in a timely manner for the new potential risks and are able to respond to them accordingly. The project managers are responsible for ensuring that the information provided to the team members is communicated using an appropriate language so it can be understood by all of them.
In addition, the project manager may include external interested parties affected by the project in the risk communication. If the project manager decides to include interested parties, the risk communication is thoroughly prepared. The project manager firstly identifies the interested parties that should be informed and takes into account their concerns and possible conflicts that may arise due to risk communication. The risks are communicated to the identified interested parties while taking into consideration the confidentiality of Adstry's information and determining the level of detail that should be included in the risk communication. The project managers use the same risk management software for risk communication with external interested parties since it provides a consistent view of risks. For each project, the project manager arranges regular meetings with relevant interested parties of the project, they discuss the detected risks, their prioritization, and determine appropriate treatment solutions. The information taken from the risk management software and the results of these meetings are documented and are used for decision-making processes. In addition, the company uses a computerized documented information management system for the acquisition, classification, storage, and archiving of its documents.
Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:
Which of the following documented information management systems does Adstry use?
- A. Cloud-based documented management system
- B. Content management system
- C. Electronic documented management system
正解：C
解説：
Adstry uses a computerized documented information management system for the acquisition, classification, storage, and archiving of documents. This type of system is typically referred to as an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS). An EDMS is designed to handle digital documents and support the management of information, ensuring that documents are stored, retrieved, and maintained efficiently. Option B (Content management system) is incorrect because it primarily manages web content rather than organizational documents. Option C (Cloud-based documented management system) could be partially correct if the EDMS is hosted in the cloud, but the scenario does not specify this.
