質問 # 24
Does information security reduce the impact of risks?
- A. No, information security does not have an impact on risks as information security and risk management are separate processes
- B. Yes, information security reduces the impact of risks by eliminating the likelihood of exploitation of vulnerabilities by threats
- C. Yes, information security reduces risks and their impact by protecting the organization against threats and vulnerabilities
正解：C
解説：
Information security aims to protect information assets against threats and vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. By implementing effective security measures (such as access controls, encryption, and monitoring), an organization reduces the likelihood of vulnerabilities being exploited and mitigates the potential impact of risks. According to ISO/IEC 27005, risk management in information security includes identifying, assessing, and applying controls to reduce both the likelihood and impact of potential risks. Thus, option A is correct because it acknowledges the role of information security in reducing the impact of risks. Option B is incorrect because information security is a key component of risk management, and option C is incorrect because information security does not eliminate risks entirely; it mitigates their impact.
質問 # 25
An organization decided to use nonnumerical categories, i.e., low, medium, and high for describing consequence and probability. Which risk analysis methodology is the organization using?
- A. Quantitative
- B. Qualitative
- C. Semi-quantitative
正解：B
解説：
A qualitative risk analysis method uses nonnumerical categories such as low, medium, and high to describe the consequences and probability of risks. This method involves subjective judgment based on expertise, experience, and intuition rather than mathematical calculations. Qualitative methods are often used when it is challenging to obtain accurate numerical data, and they provide a general understanding of risks to prioritize them for further action. Option C is correct because the use of nonnumerical categories aligns with the qualitative risk analysis methodology. Option A (Quantitative) is incorrect as it involves numerical values and statistical methods, while Option B (Semi-quantitative) is a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, usually involving ranges of numerical values.

Scenario 7: Adstry is a business growth agency that specializes in digital marketing strategies. Adstry helps organizations redefine the relationships with their customers through innovative solutions. Adstry is headquartered in San Francisco and recently opened two new offices in New York. The structure of the company is organized into teams which are led by project managers. The project manager has the full power in any decision related to projects. The team members, on the other hand, report the project's progress to project managers.
Considering that data breaches and ad fraud are common threats in the current business environment, managing risks is essential for Adstry. When planning new projects, each project manager is responsible for ensuring that risks related to a particular project have been identified, assessed, and mitigated. This means that project managers have also the role of the risk manager in Adstry. Taking into account that Adstry heavily relies on technology to complete their projects, their risk assessment certainly involves identification of risks associated with the use of information technology. At the earliest stages of each project, the project manager communicates the risk assessment results to its team members.
Adstry uses a risk management software which helps the project team to detect new potential risks during each phase of the project. This way, team members are informed in a timely manner for the new potential risks and are able to respond to them accordingly. The project managers are responsible for ensuring that the information provided to the team members is communicated using an appropriate language so it can be understood by all of them.
In addition, the project manager may include external interested parties affected by the project in the risk communication. If the project manager decides to include interested parties, the risk communication is thoroughly prepared. The project manager firstly identifies the interested parties that should be informed and takes into account their concerns and possible conflicts that may arise due to risk communication. The risks are communicated to the identified interested parties while taking into consideration the confidentiality of Adstry's information and determining the level of detail that should be included in the risk communication. The project managers use the same risk management software for risk communication with external interested parties since it provides a consistent view of risks. For each project, the project manager arranges regular meetings with relevant interested parties of the project, they discuss the detected risks, their prioritization, and determine appropriate treatment solutions. The information taken from the risk management software and the results of these meetings are documented and are used for decision-making processes. In addition, the company uses a computerized documented information management system for the acquisition, classification, storage, and archiving of its documents.
Based on scenario 7, project managers communicate risks to external interested parties, taking into account the information confidentiality. Which principle of efficient communication strategy do project managers follow?
- A. Transparency
- B. Credibility
- C. Responsiveness
正解：A
解説：
ISO/IEC 27005 emphasizes that effective risk management involves clear communication strategies, especially when it comes to ensuring that all stakeholders-both internal and external-are well-informed about potential risks and their impacts. The communication of risks is an essential part of the risk treatment process, as stated in the ISO/IEC 27005 standard.
In the given scenario, Adstry project managers are responsible for communicating risks to external interested parties, while carefully considering the confidentiality of the company's information. They ensure that the risks are conveyed with the appropriate level of detail, protecting sensitive information but still providing the necessary insights to interested parties. This level of disclosure ensures that stakeholders are well aware of the risks without compromising the organization's confidentiality policies.
The principle of transparency in communication refers to the clear, open, and honest sharing of information that stakeholders need in order to make informed decisions. By identifying interested parties, considering their concerns, and ensuring risk communication is well-prepared and detailed appropriately, Adstry's project managers are practicing transparency. They provide the necessary risk information while balancing the protection of confidential data.
Option A, credibility, refers to building trust in communication, which is not the primary focus in this context. Option B, responsiveness, is about timely reactions to risks or concerns but doesn't directly relate to how the information is communicated regarding risk confidentiality.
Thus, transparency is the correct answer because it aligns with how project managers ensure that the necessary risk details are communicated in a clear and honest way, while still protecting confidential information, as outlined by ISO/IEC 27005 risk communication principles.

Scenario 3: Printary is an American company that offers digital printing services. Creating cost-effective and creative products, the company has been part of the printing industry for more than 30 years. Three years ago, the company started to operate online, providing greater flexibility for its clients. Through the website, clients could find information about all services offered by Printary and order personalized products. However, operating online increased the risk of cyber threats, consequently, impacting the business functions of the company. Thus, along with the decision of creating an online business, the company focused on managing information security risks. Their risk management program was established based on ISO/IEC 27005 guidelines and industry best practices.
Last year, the company considered the integration of an online payment system on its website in order to provide more flexibility and transparency to customers. Printary analyzed various available solutions and selected Pay0, a payment processing solution that allows any company to easily collect payments on their website. Before making the decision, Printary conducted a risk assessment to identify and analyze information security risks associated with the software. The risk assessment process involved three phases: identification, analysis, and evaluation. During risk identification, the company inspected assets, threats, and vulnerabilities. In addition, to identify the information security risks, Printary used a list of the identified events that could negatively affect the achievement of information security objectives. The risk identification phase highlighted two main threats associated with the online payment system: error in use and data corruption After conducting a gap analysis, the company concluded that the existing security controls were sufficient to mitigate the threat of data corruption. However, the user interface of the payment solution was complicated, which could increase the risk associated with user errors, and, as a result, impact data integrity and confidentiality.
Subsequently, the risk identification results were analyzed. The company conducted risk analysis in order to understand the nature of the identified risks. They decided to use a quantitative risk analysis methodology because it would provide more detailed information. The selected risk analysis methodology was consistent with the risk evaluation criteri a. Firstly, they used a list of potential incident scenarios to assess their potential impact. In addition, the likelihood of incident scenarios was defined and assessed. Finally, the level of risk was defined as low.
In the end, the level of risk was compared to the risk evaluation and acceptance criteria and was prioritized accordingly.
Which of the following situations indicates that Printary identified consequences of risk scenarios? Refer to scenario 3.
- A. Printary concluded that the complicated user interface could increase the risk of user error and impact data integrity and confidentiality
- B. Printary identified two main threats associated with the online payment system: error in use and corruption of data
- C. Printary used the list of potential incident scenarios and assessed their impact on company's information security
正解：C
解説：
According to ISO/IEC 27005, the risk management process involves identifying, analyzing, and evaluating risks in a structured manner. Specifically, risk identification entails recognizing potential threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences to information assets. Once risks are identified, ISO/IEC 27005 emphasizes the importance of risk analysis, where risks are assessed in terms of their potential consequences and likelihood.
In the scenario, Printary followed this structured approach, aligning with the ISO/IEC 27005 framework. First, they identified the threats associated with the online payment system, which were categorized as user errors and data corruption. However, identification of threats alone does not equate to identifying the consequences of risk scenarios, as required by the risk analysis phase in ISO/IEC 27005.
The key to recognizing that Printary identified the consequences lies in the fact that they "used the list of potential incident scenarios and assessed their impact on the company's information security." This directly corresponds to ISO/IEC 27005's guidelines on risk analysis, where organizations must evaluate both the likelihood and the impact (consequences) of potential incidents on their assets. In other words, by assessing the impact of the incident scenarios, Printary is analyzing the consequences of the identified risks, which is a crucial step in the risk analysis process.
Option A refers to identifying a risk (user error leading to compromised data integrity and confidentiality), but this does not constitute a comprehensive analysis of the risk's consequences as per ISO/IEC 27005. Similarly, Option C highlights the identification of threats, but the threats themselves are not the consequences of risk scenarios.
Thus, Option B is the most accurate as it reflects Printary's alignment with ISO/IEC 27005 guidelines in assessing the potential consequences of risk scenarios by evaluating their impact on the company's information security.

- B. Sending questionnaires to a group of people who represent the interested parties is NOT preferred
- C. Interviews should be conducted only with individuals responsible for information security management
正解：A
解説：
ISO/IEC 27005 supports the use of various information-gathering techniques, including technical tools, to identify and assess risks. Technical tools such as vulnerability scanners and asset management software can help organizations identify technical vulnerabilities and compile a list of assets that are critical for risk assessment. This aligns with the standard's recommendation to use automated tools for an effective risk assessment process. Option B is correct because it accurately describes an effective information-gathering technique.
Reference:
ISO/IEC 27005:2018, Clause 8.2, "Risk Identification," which discusses using tools and techniques to identify risks.
質問 # 29
Scenario 6: Productscape is a market research company headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. It helps organizations understand the needs and expectations of their customers and identify new business opportunities. Productscape's teams have extensive experience in marketing and business strategy and work with some of the best-known organizations in Europe. The industry in which Productscape operates requires effective risk management. Considering that Productscape has access to clients' confidential information, it is responsible for ensuring its security. As such, the company conducts regular risk assessments. The top management appointed Alex as the risk manager, who is responsible for monitoring the risk management process and treating information security risks.
The last risk assessment conducted was focused on information assets. The purpose of this risk assessment was to identify information security risks, understand their level, and take appropriate action to treat them in order to ensure the security of their systems. Alex established a team of three members to perform the risk assessment activities. Each team member was responsible for specific departments included in the risk assessment scope. The risk assessment provided valuable information to identify, understand, and mitigate the risks that Productscape faces.
Initially, the team identified potential risks based on the risk identification results. Prior to analyzing the identified risks, the risk acceptance criteria were established. The criteria for accepting the risks were determined based on Productscape's objectives, operations, and technology. The team created various risk scenarios and determined the likelihood of occurrence as "low," "medium," or "high." They decided that if the likelihood of occurrence for a risk scenario is determined as "low," no further action would be taken. On the other hand, if the likelihood of occurrence for a risk scenario is determined as "high" or "medium," additional controls will be implemented. Some information security risk scenarios defined by Productscape's team were as follows:
1. A cyber attacker exploits a security misconfiguration vulnerability of Productscape's website to launch an attack, which, in turn, could make the website unavailable to users.
2. A cyber attacker gains access to confidential information of clients and may threaten to make the information publicly available unless a ransom is paid.
3. An internal employee clicks on a link embedded in an email that redirects them to an unsecured website, installing a malware on the device.
The likelihood of occurrence for the first risk scenario was determined as "medium." One of the main reasons that such a risk could occur was the usage of default accounts and password. Attackers could exploit this vulnerability and launch a brute-force attack. Therefore, Productscape decided to start using an automated "build and deploy" process which would test the software on deploy and minimize the likelihood of such an incident from happening. However, the team made it clear that the implementation of this process would not eliminate the risk completely and that there was still a low possibility for this risk to occur. Productscape documented the remaining risk and decided to monitor it for changes.
The likelihood of occurrence for the second risk scenario was determined as "medium." Productscape decided to contract an IT company that would provide technical assistance and monitor the company's systems and networks in order to prevent such incidents from happening.
The likelihood of occurrence for the third risk scenario was determined as "high." Thus, Productscape decided to include phishing as a topic on their information security training sessions. In addition, Alex reviewed the controls of Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001 in order to determine the necessary controls for treating this risk. Alex decided to implement control A.8.23 Web filtering which would help the company to reduce the risk of accessing unsecure websites. Although security controls were implemented to treat the risk, the level of the residual risk still did not meet the risk acceptance criteria defined in the beginning of the risk assessment process. Since the cost of implementing additional controls was too high for the company, Productscape decided to accept the residual risk. Therefore, risk owners were assigned the responsibility of managing the residual risk.
Which risk treatment option was used for the second risk scenario? Refer to scenario 6.
- A. Risk sharing
- B. Risk avoidance
- C. Risk retention
正解：A
解説：
Risk sharing, also known as risk transfer, involves sharing the risk with another party, such as through insurance or outsourcing certain activities to third-party vendors. In Scenario 6, Productscape decided to contract an IT company to provide technical assistance and monitor the company's systems and networks to prevent incidents related to the second risk scenario (gaining access to confidential information and threatening to make it public unless a ransom is paid). This is an example of risk sharing because Productscape transferred part of the risk management responsibilities to an external company. Thus, the correct answer is C, Risk sharing.
Reference:
ISO/IEC 27005:2018, Clause 8.6, "Risk Treatment," which includes risk sharing as an option where a third party is used to manage specific risks.
質問 # 30
Scenario 5: Detika is a private cardiology clinic in Pennsylvania, the US. Detika has one of the most advanced healthcare systems for treating heart diseases. The clinic uses sophisticated apparatus that detects heart diseases in early stages. Since 2010, medical information of Detika's patients is stored on the organization's digital systems. Electronic health records (EHR), among others, include patients' diagnosis, treatment plan, and laboratory results.
Storing and accessing patient and other medical data digitally was a huge and a risky step for Detik a. Considering the sensitivity of information stored in their systems, Detika conducts regular risk assessments to ensure that all information security risks are identified and managed. Last month, Detika conducted a risk assessment which was focused on the EHR system. During risk identification, the IT team found out that some employees were not updating the operating systems regularly. This could cause major problems such as a data breach or loss of software compatibility. In addition, the IT team tested the software and detected a flaw in one of the software modules used. Both issues were reported to the top management and they decided to implement appropriate controls for treating the identified risks. They decided to organize training sessions for all employees in order to make them aware of the importance of the system updates. In addition, the manager of the IT Department was appointed as the person responsible for ensuring that the software is regularly tested.
Another risk identified during the risk assessment was the risk of a potential ransomware attack. This risk was defined as low because all their data was backed up daily. The IT team decided to accept the actual risk of ransomware attacks and concluded that additional measures were not required. This decision was documented in the risk treatment plan and communicated to the risk owner. The risk owner approved the risk treatment plan and documented the risk assessment results.
Following that, Detika initiated the implementation of new controls. In addition, one of the employees of the IT Department was assigned the responsibility for monitoring the implementation process and ensure the effectiveness of the security controls. The IT team, on the other hand, was responsible for allocating the resources needed to effectively implement the new controls.
Based on scenario 5, the IT team was responsible for allocating the necessary resources to ensure that the new controls are implemented effectively. Is this acceptable?
- A. No, the necessary resources for treating the risk should be allocated in the beginning of the risk assessment process
- B. No, the organization should allocate the necessary resources to ensure the effective implementation of the risk treatment plan
- C. Yes, the team that is responsible for conducting the risk assessment should ensure that the necessary resources for treating the risk are allocated
正解：C
解説：
According to ISO/IEC 27005, the team responsible for the risk assessment is often tasked with coordinating the resources necessary to treat identified risks effectively. This includes ensuring that the resources required for implementing risk treatment actions, such as financial, technical, and human resources, are available and allocated appropriately. Option B is incorrect because it is not only the organization that allocates resources, but rather a combined effort involving the risk management team to ensure proper allocation. Option C is incorrect because resources must be managed and allocated continually throughout the risk management process, not just at the beginning.

Scenario 1
The risk assessment process was led by Henry, Bontton's risk manager. The first step that Henry took was identifying the company's assets. Afterward, Henry created various potential incident scenarios. One of the main concerns regarding the use of the application was the possibility of being targeted by cyber attackers, as a great number of organizations were experiencing cyberattacks during that time. After analyzing the identified risks, Henry evaluated them and concluded that new controls must be implemented if the company wants to use the application. Among others, he stated that training should be provided to personnel regarding the use of the application and that awareness sessions should be conducted regarding the importance of protecting customers' personal data.
Lastly, Henry communicated the risk assessment results to the top management. They decided that the application will be used only after treating the identified risks.
Henry concluded that one of the main concerns regarding the use of the application for online ordering was cyberattacks. What did Henry identify in this case? Refer to scenario 1.\
- A. The vulnerabilities of an asset
- B. The consequences of a potential security incident
- C. A threat
正解：C
解説：
In this scenario, Henry identifies "cyberattacks" as one of the main concerns related to the use of the application for online ordering. According to ISO/IEC 27005, a "threat" is any potential cause of an unwanted incident that may result in harm to a system or organization. In this context, cyberattacks are considered a threat because they represent a potential cause that could compromise the security of the application. Henry's identification of cyberattacks as a primary concern aligns with recognizing a specific threat that could exploit vulnerabilities within the system.
Reference:
ISO/IEC 27005:2018, Clause 8.3, "Threat identification," which provides guidance on identifying threats that could affect the organization's information assets.
ISO/IEC 27001:2013, Clause 6.1.2, "Information Security Risk Assessment," where identifying threats is part of the risk assessment process.
These answers are verified based on the standards' definitions and guidelines, providing a comprehensive understanding of how ISO/IEC 27005 is used within the context of ISO/IEC 27001.

質問 # 35
Scenario 4: In 2017, seeing that millions of people turned to online shopping, Ed and James Cordon founded the online marketplace for footwear called Poshoe. In the past, purchasing pre-owned designer shoes online was not a pleasant experience because of unattractive pictures and an inability to ascertain the products' authenticity. However, after Poshoe's establishment, each product was well advertised and certified as authentic before being offered to clients. This increased the customers' confidence and trust in Poshoe's products and services. Poshoe has approximately four million users and its mission is to dominate the second-hand sneaker market and become a multi-billion dollar company.
Due to the significant increase of daily online buyers, Poshoe's top management decided to adopt a big data analytics tool that could help the company effectively handle, store, and analyze dat a. Before initiating the implementation process, they decided to conduct a risk assessment. Initially, the company identified its assets, threats, and vulnerabilities associated with its information systems. In terms of assets, the company identified the information that was vital to the achievement of the organization's mission and objectives. During this phase, the company also detected a rootkit in their software, through which an attacker could remotely access Poshoe's systems and acquire sensitive data.
The company discovered that the rootkit had been installed by an attacker who had gained administrator access. As a result, the attacker was able to obtain the customers' personal data after they purchased a product from Poshoe. Luckily, the company was able to execute some scans from the target device and gain greater visibility into their software's settings in order to identify the vulnerability of the system.
The company initially used the qualitative risk analysis technique to assess the consequences and the likelihood and to determine the level of risk. The company defined the likelihood of risk as "a few times in two years with the probability of 1 to 3 times per year." Later, it was decided that they would use a quantitative risk analysis methodology since it would provide additional information on this major risk. Lastly, the top management decided to treat the risk immediately as it could expose the company to other issues. In addition, it was communicated to their employees that they should update, secure, and back up Poshoe's software in order to protect customers' personal information and prevent unauthorized access from attackers.
Based on scenario 4, which scanning tool did Poshoe use to detect the vulnerability in their software?
- A. Host-based scanning tool
- B. Network-based scanning tool
- C. Penetration testing tool
正解：A
解説：
Poshoe used scans from the target device to gain greater visibility into their software's settings and identify vulnerabilities, which indicates the use of a host-based scanning tool. Host-based scanning tools are used to examine the internal state of a system, such as installed software, configurations, and files, to detect vulnerabilities or malicious software like rootkits. Option A (Network-based scanning tool) would be used to scan network traffic and identify vulnerabilities in network devices, which does not match the context. Option C (Penetration testing tool) involves simulating an attack to test system defenses, which is more intrusive than the scanning described in the scenario.

Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:
Poshoe detected a rootkit installed in their software. In which category of threats does this threat belong?
- A. Technical failures
- B. Human actions
- C. Organizational threats
正解：B
解説：
A rootkit installed in software due to an attacker gaining administrator access is considered a threat resulting from human actions. In this scenario, the attacker deliberately exploited a vulnerability to install the rootkit and gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. ISO/IEC 27005 categorizes threats into three main types: technical failures, human actions, and environmental events. Since this threat is a result of intentional malicious activity by an individual (human), it falls under the category of human actions. Option A (Technical failures) would refer to failures in hardware or software that are not caused by deliberate actions, while Option C (Organizational threats) would relate to internal organizational issues, neither of which apply to this case.

Initially, the team identified potential risks based on the risk identification results. Prior to analyzing the identified risks, the risk acceptance criteria were established. The criteria for accepting the risks were determined based on Productscape's objectives, operations, and technology. The team created various risk scenarios and determined the likelihood of occurrence as "low," "medium," or "high." They decided that if the likelihood of occurrence for a risk scenario is determined as "low," no further action would be taken. On the other hand, if the likelihood of occurrence for a risk scenario is determined as "high" or "medium," additional controls will be implemented. Some information security risk scenarios defined by Productscape's team were as follows:
1. A cyber attacker exploits a security misconfiguration vulnerability of Productscape's website to launch an attack, which, in turn, could make the website unavailable to users.
2. A cyber attacker gains access to confidential information of clients and may threaten to make the information publicly available unless a ransom is paid.
3. An internal employee clicks on a link embedded in an email that redirects them to an unsecured website, installing a malware on the device.
The likelihood of occurrence for the first risk scenario was determined as "medium." One of the main reasons that such a risk could occur was the usage of default accounts and password. Attackers could exploit this vulnerability and launch a brute-force attack. Therefore, Productscape decided to start using an automated "build and deploy" process which would test the software on deploy and minimize the likelihood of such an incident from happening. However, the team made it clear that the implementation of this process would not eliminate the risk completely and that there was still a low possibility for this risk to occur. Productscape documented the remaining risk and decided to monitor it for changes.
The likelihood of occurrence for the second risk scenario was determined as "medium." Productscape decided to contract an IT company that would provide technical assistance and monitor the company's systems and networks in order to prevent such incidents from happening.
The likelihood of occurrence for the third risk scenario was determined as "high." Thus, Productscape decided to include phishing as a topic on their information security training sessions. In addition, Alex reviewed the controls of Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001 in order to determine the necessary controls for treating this risk. Alex decided to implement control A.8.23 Web filtering which would help the company to reduce the risk of accessing unsecure websites. Although security controls were implemented to treat the risk, the level of the residual risk still did not meet the risk acceptance criteria defined in the beginning of the risk assessment process. Since the cost of implementing additional controls was too high for the company, Productscape decided to accept the residual risk. Therefore, risk owners were assigned the responsibility of managing the residual risk.
Based on scenario 6, Productscape decided to monitor the remaining risk after risk treatment. Is this necessary?
- A. No, unless the risk has a severe impact if it occurs, there is no need to monitor the risk
- B. No, there is no need to monitor risks that meet the risk acceptance criteria
- C. Yes, the remaining risk after risk treatment should be monitored and reviewed
正解：C
解説：
ISO/IEC 27005 advises that even after risks have been treated, any residual risks should be continuously monitored and reviewed. This is necessary to ensure that they remain within acceptable levels and that any changes in the internal or external environment do not escalate the risk beyond acceptable thresholds. Monitoring also ensures that the effectiveness of the controls remains adequate over time. Option A is incorrect because all risks, including those meeting the risk acceptance criteria, should be monitored. Option B is incorrect because monitoring is necessary regardless of the perceived severity if it occurs, to detect changes early.

The purpose of this risk assessment was to identify information security risks, understand their level, and take appropriate action to treat them in order to ensure the security of their systems. Alex established a team of three members to perform the risk assessment activities. Each team member was responsible for specific departments included in the risk assessment scope. The risk assessment provided valuable information to identify, understand, and mitigate the risks that Productscape faces.
Initially, the team identified potential risks based on the risk identification results. Prior to analyzing the identified risks, the risk acceptance criteria were established. The criteria for accepting the risks were determined based on Productscape's objectives, operations, and technology. The team created various risk scenarios and determined the likelihood of occurrence as "low," "medium," or "high."

Since the cost of implementing additional controls was too high for the company, Productscape decided to accept the residual risk. Therefore, risk owners were assigned the responsibility of managing the residual risk.
Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:
Which risk treatment option was used for the first risk scenario?
- A. Risk sharing
- B. Risk avoidance
- C. Risk modification
正解：C
解説：
Risk modification involves implementing measures to reduce the likelihood or impact of a risk. In the first risk scenario, Productscape decided to use an automated "build and deploy" process to reduce the likelihood of an attacker exploiting a security misconfiguration vulnerability. This action aims to lower the risk to an acceptable level, which is characteristic of risk modification. Option B (Risk avoidance) would involve eliminating the risk by avoiding the activity altogether, which is not what was done. Option C (Risk sharing) involves transferring some or all of the risk to a third party, which is not applicable in this scenario.

Scenario 4: In 2017, seeing that millions of people turned to online shopping, Ed and James Cordon founded the online marketplace for footwear called Poshoe. In the past, purchasing pre-owned designer shoes online was not a pleasant experience because of unattractive pictures and an inability to ascertain the products' authenticity. However, after Poshoe's establishment, each product was well advertised and certified as authentic before being offered to clients. This increased the customers' confidence and trust in Poshoe's products and services. Poshoe has approximately four million users and its mission is to dominate the second-hand sneaker market and become a multi-billion dollar company.
Due to the significant increase of daily online buyers, Poshoe's top management decided to adopt a big data analytics tool that could help the company effectively handle, store, and analyze dat a. Before initiating the implementation process, they decided to conduct a risk assessment. Initially, the company identified its assets, threats, and vulnerabilities associated with its information systems. In terms of assets, the company identified the information that was vital to the achievement of the organization's mission and objectives. During this phase, the company also detected a rootkit in their software, through which an attacker could remotely access Poshoe's systems and acquire sensitive data.
The company discovered that the rootkit had been installed by an attacker who had gained administrator access. As a result, the attacker was able to obtain the customers' personal data after they purchased a product from Poshoe. Luckily, the company was able to execute some scans from the target device and gain greater visibility into their software's settings in order to identify the vulnerability of the system.
The company initially used the qualitative risk analysis technique to assess the consequences and the likelihood and to determine the level of risk. The company defined the likelihood of risk as "a few times in two years with the probability of 1 to 3 times per year." Later, it was decided that they would use a quantitative risk analysis methodology since it would provide additional information on this major risk. Lastly, the top management decided to treat the risk immediately as it could expose the company to other issues. In addition, it was communicated to their employees that they should update, secure, and back up Poshoe's software in order to protect customers' personal information and prevent unauthorized access from attackers.
According to scenario 4, the top management of Poshoe decided to treat the risk immediately after conducting the risk analysis. Is this in compliance with risk management best practices?
- A. No, the risk should be communicated to all the interested parties before making any decision regarding risk treatment
- B. No, risk evaluation should be performed before making any decision regarding risk treatment
- C. Yes. risk treatment options should be implemented immediately after analyzing the risk, as the risk could expose the company to other security threats
正解：B
解説：
According to ISO/IEC 27005, after conducting risk analysis, the next step in the risk management process should be risk evaluation. Risk evaluation involves comparing the estimated level of risk against risk criteria established by the organization to determine the significance of the risk and decide whether it is acceptable or needs treatment. Only after evaluating the risk should an organization decide on the appropriate risk treatment options. Therefore, in the scenario, deciding to treat the risk immediately after conducting the risk analysis, without first performing a risk evaluation, is not in compliance with risk management best practices. Option A is the correct answer.
Reference:
ISO/IEC 27005:2018, Clause 8.5, "Risk Evaluation," which describes the process of evaluating risks after analysis to determine if they require treatment.
