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

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 FinSecure identify information system components on which one or several business assets are based?

Scenario 8: SunDee is a biopharmaceutical firm headquartered in California, US. Renowned for its pioneering work in the field of human therapeutics, SunDee places a strong emphasis on addressing critical healthcare concerns, particularly in the domains of cardiovascular diseases, oncology, bone health, and inflammation. SunDee has demonstrated its commitment to data security and integrity by maintaining an effective information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001 for the past two years.

In preparation for the recertification audit, SunDee conducted an internal audit. The company's top management appointed Alex, who has actively managed the Compliance Department's day-to-day operations for the last six months, as the internal auditor. With this dual role assignment, Alex is tasked with conducting an audit that ensures compliance and provides valuable recommendations to improve operational efficiency.

During the internal audit, a few nonconformities were identified. To address them comprehensively, the company created action plans for each nonconformity, working closely with the audit team leader.

SunDee's senior management conducted a comprehensive review of the ISMS to evaluate its appropriateness, sufficiency, and efficiency. This was integrated into their regular management meetings. Essential documents, including audit reports, action plans, and review outcomes, were distributed to all members before the meeting. The agenda covered the status of previous review actions, changes affecting the ISMS, feedback, stakeholder inputs, and opportunities for improvement. Decisions and actions targeting ISMS improvements were made, with a significant role played by the ISMS coordinator and the internal audit team in preparing follow-up action plans, which were then approved by top management.

In response to the review outcomes, SunDee promptly implemented corrective actions, strengthening its information security measures. Additionally, dashboard tools were introduced to provide a high-level overview of key performance indicators essential for monitoring the organization's information security management. These indicators included metrics on security incidents, their costs, system vulnerability tests, nonconformity detection, and resolution times, facilitating effective recording, reporting, and tracking of monitoring activities. Furthermore, SunDee embarked on a comprehensive measurement process to assess the progress and outcomes of ongoing projects, implementing extensive measures across all processes. The top management determined that the individual responsible for the information, aside from owning the data that contributes to the measures, would also be designated accountable for executing these measurement activities.

Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:

Is Alex suitable for the position of internal auditor within the company?

changes over time. and strategically selecting controls based on asset sensitivity and exposure. This proactive approach ensures that Yefund remains agile and adaptive in safeguarding critical information assets

against emerging threats. Although Yetund recognized the urgent need to enhance its security posture, the implementation team took a gradual approach to integrate each ISMS element- Rather than waiting for

an official launch, they carefully tested and validated security controls, gradually putting each element into operational mode as it was completed and approved. This methodical process ensured that critical

security measures, such as encryption protocols. access controls. and monitoring systems. were fully operational and effective in safeguarding customer information, including personal. policy, and financial

details.

Recently. Kian. a member of Vefund's information security team. identified two security events. Upon evaluation. one reported incident did not meet the criteria to be classified as such- However, the second

incident. involving critical network components experiencing downtime. raised concerns about potential risks to sensitive data security and was therefore categorized as an incident. The first event was recorded

as a report without further action, whereas the second incident prompted a series Of actions, including investigation. containment, eradication, recovery. resolution, closure, incident reporting, and post-incident

activities. Additionally. IRTS were established to address the events according to their Categorization.
