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
What should TradeB do in order to deal with residual risks? Refer to scenario 4.
Scenario 9: CoreBit Systems
CoreBit Systems, with its headquarters m San Francisco, specializes in information and communication technology (ICT) solutions, its clientele primarily includes data communication enterprises and network operators. The company's core objective is to enable its clients a smooth transition into multi-service providers, aligning their operations with the complex demands of the digital landscape.
Recently. John, the internal auditor of CoreBit Systems, conducted an internal audit which uncovered nonconformities related to their monitoring procedures and system vulnerabilities, in response to the identified nonconformities. CoreBit Systems decided to employ a comprehensive problem-solving approach to solve these issues systematically. The method encompasses a team-oriented approach, aiming to identify, correct, and eliminate the root causes of issues. This approach involves several steps. First, establish a group of experts with deep knowledge of processes and controls. Next, break down the nonconformity into measurable components and implement interim containment measures. Then, identify potential root causes and select and verify permanent corrective actions. Finally, put those actions into practice, validate them, take steps to prevent recurrence, and recognize and acknowledge the team's efforts.
Following the analysis of the root cause of the nonconformities, CoreBit Systems's ISMS project manager. Julia, developed a list of potential actions to address the identified nonconformities. Julia carefully evaluated the list to ensure that each action would effectively eliminate the root cause of the respective nonconformity. While assessing potential corrective action for addressing a nonconformity, Julia identified the issue as significant and assessed a high likelihood of its reoccurrence Consequently, she chose to implement temporary corrective actions. Afterward. Julia combined all the nonconformities Into a single action plan and sought approval from the top management.
The submitted action plan was written as follows:
A new version of the access control policy will be established and new restrictions will be created to ensure that network access is effectively managed and monitored by the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Department.
However. Julia's submitted action plan was not approved by top management The reason cited was that a general action plan meant to address all nonconformities was deemed unacceptable. Consequently, Julia revised the action plan and submitted separate ones for approval Unfortunately, Julia did not adhere to the organization's specified deadline for submission, resulting in a delay in the corrective action process, and notably, the revised action plans lacked a defined schedule for execution.
Question:
Which method did CoreBit Systems use to address and prevent reoccurring problems after identifying the nonconformities?

Scenario 9: SkyFleet specializes in air freight services, providing fast and reliable transportation solutions for businesses that need quick delivery of goods across long distances. Given the confidential nature of the information it handles, SkyFleet is committed to maintaining the highest information security standards. To achieve this, the company has had an information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001 in operation for a year. To enhance its reputation, SkyFleet is pursuing certification against ISO/IEC 27001.
SkyFleet strongly emphasizes the ongoing maintenance of information security. In pursuit of this goal, it has established a rigorous review process, conducting in-depth assessments of the ISMS strategy every two years to ensure security measures remain robust and up to date. In addition, the company takes a balanced approach to nonconformities. For example, when employees fail to follow proper data encryption protocols for internal communications, SkyFleet assesses the nature and scale of this nonconformity. If this deviation is deemed minor and limited in scope, the company does not prioritize immediate resolution. However, a significant action plan was developed to address a major nonconformity involving the revamp of the company's entire data management system to ensure the protection of client data. SkyFleet entrusted the approval of this action plan to the employees directly responsible for implementing the changes. This streamlined approach ensures that those closest to the issues actively engage in the resolution process. SkyFleet's blend of innovation, dedication to information security, and adaptability has built its reputation as a key player in the IT and communications services sector.
Despite initially not being recommended for certification due to missed deadlines for submitting required action plans, SkyFleet undertook corrective measures to address these deficiencies in preparation for the next certification process. These measures involved analyzing the root causes of the delay, developing a corrective action plan, reassessing ISMS implementation to ensure compliance with ISO/IEC 27001 requirements, intensifying internal audit activities, and engaging with a certification body for a follow-up audit.
According to scenario 9, has SkyFleet accurately outlined the responsible party for approving its action plan for the revamp of the company's entire data management system?

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:
Based on scenario 2. which principle of information security was NOT compromised by the attack?
