Scenario 2:
Beauty is a well-established cosmetics company in the beauty industry. The company was founded
several decades ago with a passion for creating high-quality skincare, makeup, and personal care
products that enhance natural beauty. Over the years, Beauty has built a strong reputation for its
innovative product offerings, commitment to customer satisfaction, and dedication to ethical and
sustainable business practices.
In response to the rapidly evolving landscape of consumer shopping habits, Beauty transitioned from
traditional retail to an e-commerce model. To initiate this strategy, Beauty conducted a
comprehensive information security risk assessment, analyzing potential threats and vulnerabilities
associated with its new e-commerce venture, aligned with its business strategy and objectives.
Concerning the identified risks, the company implemented several information security controls. All
employees were required to sign confidentiality agreements to emphasize the importance of
protecting sensitive customer dat
a. The company thoroughly reviewed user access rights, ensuring only authorized personnel could
access sensitive information. In addition, since the company stores valuable products and unique
formulas in the warehouse, it installed alarm systems and surveillance cameras with real-time alerts
to prevent any potential act of vandalism.
After a while, the information security team analyzed the audit logs to monitor and track activities
across the newly implemented security controls. Upon investigating and analyzing the audit logs, it
was discovered that an attacker had accessed the system due to out-of-date anti-malware software,
exposing customers' sensitive information, including names and home addresses. Following this, the
IT team replaced the anti-malware software with a new one capable of automatically removing
malicious code in case of similar incidents. The new software was installed on all workstations and
regularly updated with the latest malware definitions, with an automatic update feature enabled. An
authentication process requiring user identification and a password was also implemented to access
sensitive information.
During the investigation, Maya, the information security manager of Beauty, found that information
security responsibilities in job descriptions were not clearly defined, for which the company took
immediate action. Recognizing that their e-commerce operations would have a global reach, Beauty
diligently researched and complied with the industry's legal, statutory, regulatory, and contractual
requirements. It considered international and local regulations, including data privacy laws,
consumer protection acts, and global trade agreements.
To meet these requirements, Beauty invested in legal counsel and compliance experts who
continuously monitored and ensured the company's compliance with legal standards in every market
they operated in. Additionally, Beauty conducted multiple information security awareness sessions
for the IT team and other employees with access to confidential information, emphasizing the
importance of system and network security.
Under which category does the vulnerability identified by Maya during the incident fall into?

What category of decision-making does the implementation of an ISMS belong to within an
organization's framework?

by maintaining an effective information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001
for the past two years.
In preparation for the recertification audit, SunDee conducted an internal audit. The company's top
management appointed Alex, who has actively managed the Compliance Department's day-to-day
operations for the last six months, as the internal auditor. With this dual role assignment, Alex is
tasked with conducting an audit that ensures compliance and provides valuable recommendations to
improve operational efficiency.
During the internal audit, a few nonconformities were identified. To address them comprehensively,
the company created action plans for each nonconformity, working closely with the audit team
leader.
SunDee's senior management conducted a comprehensive review of the ISMS to evaluate its
appropriateness, sufficiency, and efficiency. This was integrated into their regular management
meetings. Essential documents, including audit reports, action plans, and review outcomes, were
distributed to all members before the meeting. The agenda covered the status of previous review
actions, changes affecting the ISMS, feedback, stakeholder inputs, and opportunities for
improvement. Decisions and actions targeting ISMS improvements were made, with a significant role
played by the ISMS coordinator and the internal audit team in preparing follow-up action plans,
which were then approved by top management.
In response to the review outcomes, SunDee promptly implemented corrective actions,
strengthening its information security measures. Additionally, dashboard tools were introduced to
provide a high-level overview of key performance indicators essential for monitoring the
organization's information security management. These indicators included metrics on security
incidents, their costs, system vulnerability tests, nonconformity detection, and resolution times,
facilitating effective recording, reporting, and tracking of monitoring activities. Furthermore, SunDee
embarked on a comprehensive measurement process to assess the progress and outcomes of
ongoing projects, implementing extensive measures across all processes. The top management
determined that the individual responsible for the information, aside from owning the data that
contributes to the measures, would also be designated accountable for executing these
measurement activities.
