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

OrgXY is an ISO/IEC 27001-certified software development company. A year after being certified, OrgXY's top management informed the certification body that the company was not ready for conducting the surveillance audit. What happens in this case?

Scenario 6

Sinvestment is an insurance provider that offers a wide range of coverage options, including home, commercial, and life insurance. Originally established in North California, the company has expanded its operations to other locations, including Europe and Africa. In addition to its growth, Sinvestment is committed to complying with laws and regulations applicable to its industry and preventing any information security incident. They have implemented an information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001 and have applied for certification.

A team of auditors was assigned by the certification body to conduct the audit. After signing a confidentiality agreement with Sinvestment, they started the audit activities. For the activities of the stage 1 audit, it was decided that they would be performed on site, except the review of documented information, which took place remotely, as requested by Sinvestment.

The audit team started the stage 1 audit by reviewing the documentation required, including the declaration of the ISMS scope, information security policies, and internal audit reports. The evaluation of the documented information was based on the content and procedure for managing the documented information.

In addition, the auditors found out that the documentation related to information security training and awareness programs was incomplete and lacked essential details. When asked, Sinvestment’s top management stated that the company has provided information security training sessions to all employees.

The stage 2 audit was conducted three weeks after the stage 1 audit. The audit team observed that the marketing department (not included in the audit scope) had no procedures to control employees’ access rights. Since controlling employees' access rights is one of the ISO/IEC 27001 requirements and was included in the company's information security policy, the issue was included in the audit report.

Question

Was Sinvestment’s request for reviewing documented information remotely acceptable?

You are an experienced ISMS auditor conducting a third-party surveillance audit at an organisation which offers ICT reclamation services. ICT equipment which companies no longer require is processed by the organisation. It is either recommissioned and reused or is securely destroyed.

You notice two servers on a bench in the corner of the room. Both have stickers on them with the server's name, IP address and admin password. You ask the ICT Manager about them, and he tells you they were part of a shipment received yesterday from a regular customer.

Which one action should you take?
