Privileged utility programs (such as those that can bypass access controls or directly manipulate system files) present a significant security risk if misused. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A control A.8.11 mandates restriction and tight control over these utilities to prevent unauthorized activities and safeguard system integrity.

“The use of utility programs that might be capable of overriding system and application controls should be restricted and tightly controlled.”

 According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, clause 5.1, the top management of an organization is responsible for ensuring the leadership and commitment for the ISMS. However, the top management may delegate some of its responsibilities to an information security committee, which is a group of people who oversee the ISMS and provide guidance and support for its implementation and operation. The information security committee may include representatives from different departments, functions, or levels of the organization, as well as external experts or consultants. The information security committee may have various roles and responsibilities, such as:

Establishing the information security policy and objectives

Approving the risk assessment and risk treatment methodology and criteria

Reviewing and approving the risk assessment and risk treatment results and plans

Monitoring and evaluating the performance and effectiveness of the ISMS

Reviewing and approving the internal and external audit plans and reports

Initiating and approving corrective and preventive actions

Communicating and promoting the ISMS to all interested parties

Ensuring the alignment of the ISMS with the strategic direction and objectives of the organization

Ensuring the availability of resources and competencies for the ISMS

Ensuring the continual improvement of the ISMS

Therefore, in scenario 5, Operaze should create an information security committee to ensure the smooth running of the ISMS, as this committee would provide the necessary leadership, guidance, and support for the ISMS implementation and operation.

According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, clause 7.5.1, the organization shall ensure that the documented information required by the ISMS and by this document is controlled to ensure that it is available and suitable for use, where and when it is needed, and that it is adequately protected. This includes ensuring that the documented information is reviewed and approved for suitability and adequacy. The information security procedures are part of the documented information that supports the operation of the ISMS processes and the implementation of the information security controls. Therefore, they should be drafted, reviewed, and validated by the information security committee, which is the group of people responsible for overseeing the ISMS and ensuring its alignment with the organization’s objectives and strategy. The information security committee should include representatives from different functions and levels of the organization, as well as external experts if needed. The information security committee should also ensure that the information security procedures are communicated to the relevant employees and other interested parties, and that they are periodically reviewed and updated as necessary.

According to the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Implementer Training Course Guide1, one of the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 is to ensure that all persons doing work under the organization’s control are aware of the information security policy, their contribution to the effectiveness of the ISMS, the implications of not conforming to the ISMS requirements, and the benefits of improved information security performance. To achieve this, the organization should determine the necessary competence of persons doing work under its control that affects its information security performance, provide training or take other actions to acquire the necessary competence, evaluate the effectiveness of the actions taken, and retain appropriate documented information as evidence of competence. The organization should also determine differing team needs in accordance to the activities they perform and the intended results, and provide appropriate training and awareness programs to meet those needs.

Therefore, the scenario indicates that Skyver did not determine differing team needs in accordance to the activities they perform and the intended results, since Lisa, who works in the HR Department, found some of the issues being discussed in the training and awareness session too technical, thus not fully understanding the session. This implies that the session was not tailored to the specific needs and roles of the HR personnel, and that the information security expert did not consider the level of technical knowledge and skills required for them to perform their work effectively and securely.

According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, availability is one of the three principles of information security, along with confidentiality and integrity1. Availability means that information is accessible and usable by authorized persons whenever it is needed2. If an employee of the organization accidentally deleted customers’ data stored in the database, this would affect the availability of the information, as it would not be accessible when required by the authorized persons, such as the customers themselves, the organization’s staff, or other stakeholders. This could result in loss of trust, reputation, or business opportunities for the organization, as well as dissatisfaction or inconvenience for the customers.

Annex A 6.1 (Screening) requires background checks prior to employment, except where prohibited by law, regulation, or collective agreements. An acceptable justification for exclusion is when a collective agreement with employees prohibits such security checks.

“Screening should be carried out for all candidates for employment, subject to relevant laws, regulations, and ethics, and should be proportional to business requirements. Where prohibited by law or collective agreement, exclusion is justified.”
