CISM Exam Dumps - Certified Information Security Manager

According to the CISM Review Manual, information asset classification is the first step in an information asset management program, as it provides the basis for determining the level of protection required for each asset. System owners, key applications and information asset inventory are subsequent steps that depend on the classification of the assets.

According to the CISM Review Manual, the information security manager should evaluate the third party’s agreements with its external provider to ensure that the security requirements and controls are adequate and consistent with the organization’s expectations. Engaging or conducting an audit may be a subsequent step, but not the most important one. Recommending canceling the contract may be premature and impractical.

Senior management support is essential to ensuring effective incident response because it provides the necessary authority, resources, and guidance for the information security team to perform their roles and responsibilities. Senior management support also helps to establish the goals, scope, policies, and procedures for the incident response plan (IRP), as well as to ensure its alignment with the business objectives and strategy. Senior management support also fosters a culture of security awareness, accountability, and collaboration among all stakeholders involved in the incident response process.

The other options are not essential to ensuring effective incident response, although they may be helpful or beneficial. A business continuity plan (BCP) is a document that outlines the actions and arrangements to ensure the continuity of critical business functions in the event of a disruption or disaster. A cost-benefit analysis is a method of comparing the costs and benefits of different alternatives or solutions to a problem. A classification scheme is a system of categorizing information assets based on their sensitivity, value, and criticality.

 Wiping the device remotely is the best option to minimize the risk of data exposure from a stolen personal mobile device. This action will erase all the data stored on the device, including the sensitive corporate data, and prevent unauthorized access or misuse. Wiping the device remotely can be done using enterprise mobility management (EMM) or mobile device management (MDM) tools that allow administrators to remotely manage and secure mobile devices. Alternatively, some mobile devices have built-in features that allow users to wipe their own devices remotely using another device or a web portal.

Preventing the user from using personal mobile devices is not a feasible option, as it may affect the user’s productivity and convenience. Moreover, this option does not address the immediate risk of data exposure from the stolen device.

Reporting the incident to the police is a good practice, but it does not guarantee that the device will be recovered or that the data will be protected. The police may not have the resources or the authority to track down the device or access it.

Removing the user’s access to corporate data is a preventive measure that can limit the damage caused by a stolen device, but it does not eliminate the risk of data exposure from the data already stored on the device. The user may have cached or downloaded data that can still be accessed by an attacker even if the user’s access is revoked. References =

Phishing awareness training is the best way to mitigate the risk of employees clicking on malicious links in emails, as it educates them on how to recognize and avoid phishing attempts. (From CISM Review Manual 15th Edition)

Risk ownership is the most important detail to capture in an organization's risk register. Risk ownership is the responsibility for managing a risk, including taking corrective action, and should be assigned to a specific individual or team. It is important to note that the risk owner is not necessarily the same as the risk acceptor, who is the individual or team who makes the final decision to accept a risk. Capturing risk ownership in the risk register is important to ensure that risks are actively managed and that the responsible parties are held accountable.
