PECB ISO-IEC-27001-Lead-Implementer Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

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 After investigating the incident, the team concluded that due to the out-of-date anti-malware software, an attacker gamed access to their files and exposed customers' information, including their names and home addresses.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:

After investigating the incident. Beauty decided to install a new anti-malware software. What type of security control has been implemented in this case?

Refer to Scenario 4 (FinSecure)

Finsecure is a financial institution based in Finland, providing services to a diverse clientele, encompassing retail banking, corporate banking, wealth management, and digital banking, all tailored to meet the evolving financial needs of individuals and businesses in the region. Recognizing the critical importance of information security in the modern banking landscape, FinSecure has initiated the implementation of an information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001. To ensure the successful implementation of the ISMS, the top management decided to contract two experts to lead and oversee the ISMS implementation project.

As a primary strategy for implementing the ISMS, the experts chose an approach that emphasizes a swift implementation of the ISMS by initially meeting the minimum requirements of ISO/IEC 27001, followed by continual improvement over time. Additionally, under the guidance of experts, FinSecure opted for a methodological framework, which serves as a structured framework that outlines the high-level stages of the ISMS implementation, the associated activities, and the deliverables without incorporating any specific tools.

The experts conducted a risk assessment, identifying all the supporting assets, which were the most tangible ones. They assessed the potential consequences and likelihood of various risks, determining the level of risks using a methodical approach that involved defining and characterizing the terms and criteria used in the assessment process. These risks were categorized into nonnumerical levels (e g., very low, low. moderate, high, very high). Explanatory notes were thoughtfully crafted to justify assessed values, with the primary goal of enhancing repeatability and reproducibility.

After completing the risk assessment, the experts reviewed a selected number of the security controls from Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001 to determine which ones were applicable to the company's specific context. The decision to implement security controls was justified by the risk assessment results. Based on this review, they drafted the Statement of Applicability (SoA). They focused on treating only the high-risk category particularly addressing unauthorized use of administrator rights and system interruptions due to several hardware failures. To address these issues, they established a new version of the access control policy, implemented controls to manage and control user access, and introduced a control for ICT readiness to ensure business continuity.

Their risk assessment report indicated that if the implemented security controls reduce the risk levels to an acceptable threshold, those risks will be accepted

Question:

Did the experts draft the Statement of Applicability (SoA) in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001?

Nimbus Route, a cloud-native logistics optimization company based in the Netherlands, offers Al-driven route planning fleet management tools, and real time shipment tracking solutions to clients across Europe and North America. To safeguard sensitive logistics data and ensure resilience across its cloud services. Nimbus Route has implemented an information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/lEC 27001. The company is also integrating intelligent transport systems and predictive analytics to increase operational efficiency and sustainability. As part of the ISMS implementation process, the company is determining the competence levels required to manage its ISMS. It has considered various factors when defining these competence requirements, including technological advancements, regulatory requirements, the company's mission. strategic objectives, available resources. as well as the needs and expectations of its customers. Furthermore, the company has established clear guidelines for internal and external communication related to the ISMS, defining what information to share, when to share it. with whom, and through which channels. However, not all communications have been formally documented: instead, the company classified and managed communication based on its needs. ensuring that documentation is maintained only to the extent necessary for the ISMS's effectiveness To support its expanding digital services and ensure operational scalability. Nimbus Route utilizes virtualized computing resources provided by an external cloud service provider. This setup allows the company to configure and manage its operating systems, deploy applications. and control storage environments as needed while relying on the provider to maintain the underlying cloud environment. To further enhance is predictive capabilities. Nimbus Route is adopting machine learning techniques across several of its core services Specifically, it uses machine learning for route optimization and delivery time estimation, leveraging algorithms such as logistic regression and support vector machines to identify patterns in historical transportation data. As Nimbus Route's ISMS matures, the company has chosen a chased approach to its transition into full operational mode Rather than waiting for a formal launch, individual elements of the ISMS, such as risk treatment procedures, access controls, and audit logging, are being activated progressively as soon as they are developed and approved Based on the scenario above answer the follow rig question.

Did Nimbus Route appropriately determine the competence levels required to support their ISMS?
