Scenario 4: TradeB. a commercial bank that has just entered the market, accepts deposits from its clients and offers basic financial services and loans for investments. TradeB has decided to implement an information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001 Having no experience of a management [^system implementation, TradeB's top management contracted two experts to direct and manage the ISMS implementation project.
First, the project team analyzed the 93 controls of ISO/IEC 27001 Annex A and listed only the security controls deemed applicable to the company and their objectives Based on this analysis, they drafted the Statement of Applicability. Afterward, they conducted a risk assessment, during which they identified assets, such as hardware, software, and networks, as well as threats and vulnerabilities, assessed potential consequences and likelihood, and determined the level of risks based on three nonnumerical categories (low, medium, and high). They evaluated the risks based on the risk evaluation criteria and decided to treat only the high risk category They also decided to focus primarily on the unauthorized use of administrator rights and system interruptions due to several hardware failures by establishing a new version of the access control policy, implementing controls to manage and control user access, and implementing a control for ICT readiness for business continuity
Lastly, they drafted a risk assessment report, in which they wrote that if after the implementation of these security controls the level of risk is below the acceptable level, the risks will be accepted
Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:
The decision to treat only risks that were classified as high indicates that Trade B has:
In the SABSA framework, which layer is concerned with viewing the services at a high level?
Kyte. a company that has an online shopping website, has added a Q&A section to its website; however, its Customer Service Department almost never provides answers to users' questions. Which principle of an effective communication strategy has Kyte not followed?
Scenario 8: SunDee is an American biopharmaceutical company, headquartered in California, the US. It specializes in developing novel human therapeutics, with a focus on cardiovascular diseases, oncology, bone health, and inflammation. The company has had an information security management system (ISMS) based on SO/IEC 27001 in place for the past two years. However, it has not monitored or measured the performance and effectiveness of its ISMS and conducted management reviews regularly
Just before the recertification audit, the company decided to conduct an internal audit. It also asked most of their staff to compile the written individual reports of the past two years for their departments. This left the Production Department with less than the optimum workforce, which decreased the company's stock.
Tessa was SunDee's internal auditor. With multiple reports written by 50 different employees, the internal audit process took much longer than planned, was very inconsistent, and had no qualitative measures whatsoever Tessa concluded that SunDee must evaluate the performance of the ISMS adequately. She defined SunDee's negligence of ISMS performance evaluation as a major nonconformity, so she wrote a nonconformity report including the description of the nonconformity, the audit findings, and recommendations. Additionally, Tessa created a new plan which would enable SunDee to resolve these issues and presented it to the top management
Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:
What caused SunDee's workforce disruption?
Scenario 3: Socket Inc. is a dynamic telecommunications company specializing in wireless products and services, committed to delivering high-quality and secure communication solutions. Socket Inc. leverages innovative technology, including the MongoDB database, renowned for its high availability, scalability, and flexibility, to provide reliable, accessible, efficient, and well-organized services to its customers. Recently, the company faced a security breach where external hackers exploited the default settings of its MongoDB database due to an oversight in the configuration settings, which had not been properly addressed. Fortunately, diligent data backups and centralized logging through a server ensured no loss of information. In response to this incident, Socket Inc. undertook a thorough evaluation of its security measures. The company recognized the urgent need to improve its information security and decided to implement an information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001.
To improve its data security and protect its resources, Socket Inc. implemented entry controls and secure access points. These measures were designed to prevent unauthorized access to critical areas housing sensitive data and essential assets. In compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and ethical standards, Socket Inc. implemented pre-employment background checks tailored to business needs, information classification, and associated risks. A formalized disciplinary procedure was also established to address policy violations. Additionally, security measures were implemented for personnel working remotely to safeguard information accessed, processed, or stored outside the organization's premises.
Socket Inc. safeguarded its information processing facilities against power failures and other disruptions. Unauthorized access to critical records from external sources led to the implementation of data flow control services to prevent unauthorized access between departments and external networks. In addition, Socket Inc. used data masking based on the organization’s topic-level general policy on access control and other related topic-level general policies and business requirements, considering applicable legislation. It also updated and documented all operating procedures for information processing facilities and ensured that they were accessible to top management exclusively.
The company also implemented a control to define and implement rules for the effective use of cryptography, including cryptographic key management, to protect the database from unauthorized access. Theimplementation was based on all relevant agreements, legislation, regulations, and the information classification scheme. Network segregation using VPNs was proposed to improve security and reduce administrative efforts.
Regarding the design and description of its security controls, Socket Inc. has categorized them into groups, consolidating all controls within a single document. Lastly, Socket Inc. implemented a new system to maintain, collect, and analyze information about information security threats and integrate information security into project management.
Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:
Which of the following controls did Socket Inc. implement by conducting pre-employment background checks? Refer to scenario 3.

Based on scenario 4, what type of assets were identified during risk assessment?
A small organization that is implementing an ISMS based on ISO/lEC 27001 has decided to outsource the internal audit function to a third party. Is this acceptable?
Levo Corporation has implemented a demilitarized zone (DMZ) and virtual private network (VPN) to secure its network. What controls did Levo Corporation implement in this case?
