ISO-IEC-27002-Foundation Exam Dumps - ISO/IEC 27002 Foundation Exam

The “Act” phase is the phase in which an organization maintains and improves the information security management system. In the PDCA logic, “Plan” establishes objectives, policies, processes, risk treatment plans, and controls. “Do” implements and operates the planned processes and controls. “Check” monitors, measures, audits, and reviews performance. “Act” uses the results of checking to correct weaknesses, improve effectiveness, and adapt the ISMS to changing conditions. ISO/IEC 27002 is not itself the PDCA requirements standard, but its controls support the management system lifecycle used by ISO/IEC 27001. Examples include independent review of information security, compliance review, learning from incidents, management of vulnerabilities, and change management. These controls generate findings and lessons that feed improvement actions. “Do” is not the best answer because it focuses on implementation. “Check” is not the best answer because it evaluates performance but does not itself complete improvement. The phase that maintains and improves the ISMS is “Act.” References/Chapters: ISO/IEC 27002:2022, Control 5.35 Independent review of information security; Control 5.27 Learning from information security incidents; ISO/IEC 27001 PDCA-based management system model.

Clock synchronization can be difficult when using multiple cloud services. ISO/IEC 27002 Control 8.17 emphasizes that clocks of information processing systems should be synchronized to approved time sources. Accurate time is essential for logging, monitoring, incident investigation, transaction integrity, forensic analysis, authentication, certificate validation, and event correlation. In a simple on-premises environment, an organization may centrally manage time sources using internal NTP servers or domain services. In multi-cloud environments, systems may span different providers, regions, platforms, managed services, containers, serverless functions, and third-party logging systems. Each environment may have different time settings, time source controls, administrative access limits, time zone handling, timestamp formats, and logging precision. This makes consistent synchronization and correlation more challenging. Option A is not the best answer because “only on-premises services” are typically easier to synchronize under a single administrative model. Option C is too broad because the question asks when synchronization can be difficult, and the ISO/IEC 27002 exam logic points to multiple cloud services.

Under Control 5.1, information security policies should include statements that define direction, responsibilities, and policy expectations, including how exemptions and exceptions are handled. Exception handling is important because policies cannot be treated casually or bypassed informally. When an exception is necessary, it should be justified, approved, documented, time-bound where appropriate, risk-assessed, and reviewed. This preserves governance and ensures deviations do not become uncontrolled weaknesses. Option A, recovery from a data breach, is important but belongs more naturally to incident management, business continuity, and response planning rather than the general information security policy statement. Option C, procedures for using automated information systems, may be addressed in acceptable use or operational procedures, but it is not the best match for Control 5.1’s policy content. The information security policy establishes the authority and framework for topic-specific policies and procedures. It should include high-level statements on objectives, principles, responsibilities, compliance expectations, and exception management. Therefore, option B is verified.

ISO/IEC 27002:2022 provides guidance for selecting, implementing, and managing information security controls. It is not the certification requirements standard; that role belongs to ISO/IEC 27001. ISO/IEC 27002 supports organizations by explaining the purpose of each control, the implementation guidance, and other related information needed to apply controls appropriately. Its controls are grouped into organizational, people, physical, and technological themes. The standard is intended to be used as a reference when organizations design security measures based on their risks, business needs, legal obligations, contractual requirements, and information security objectives. Therefore, option A is correct because “guidance” is the core function of ISO/IEC 27002. Option B is incorrect because ISO/IEC 27002 does not set mandatory requirements for certification. Option C is related to risk management, but it is not the main purpose of ISO/IEC 27002; risk management guidance is more directly associated with ISO/IEC 27005. ISO/IEC 27002 guides control implementation after risk and control needs are determined. References/Chapters: ISO/IEC 27002:2022, Clause 1 Scope; Clause 4 Structure of the standard; Controls 5–8.

When establishing a remote working policy, organizations should consider the threat of unauthorized access to information or resources from other persons in public places. Remote working changes the security environment because employees may work from homes, hotels, airports, cafés, shared offices, client sites, or while travelling. These environments can expose information to shoulder surfing, overheard conversations, device theft, insecure Wi-Fi, unattended screens, family or visitor access, and uncontrolled printing or storage. ISO/IEC 27002 Control 6.7, Remote working, expects organizations to define security measures for remote work based on risk. This can include secure authentication, encryption, screen privacy, endpoint protection, physical protection of devices, secure network access, acceptable use, incident reporting, backup, and restrictions on handling sensitive information. Option B relates more to equipment siting and physical protection of facilities. Option C relates to access rights and privileged access management. Both can be relevant elsewhere, but the remote working policy question directly points to risks from other persons in public or uncontrolled locations. Therefore, option A is verified.
