Preview — answers shown1. During a root cause analysis for a failed business continuity exercise, the team uses a diagram to categorize potential causes into People, Process, Technology, and Environment. Which specific root cause analysis method are they employing? (Select one!)
AIshikawa Diagram
BFault Tree Analysis
CSWOT Analysis
D5 Whys Technique
Explanation
The Ishikawa (or Fishbone) Diagram is a root cause analysis method that categorizes potential causes into groups such as People, Process, Technology, and Environment to visualize relationships. Fault Tree Analysis is a deductive method focusing on system failures, while the 5 Whys involves iteratively asking 'why' without necessarily categorizing causes into these specific buckets. SWOT is a strategic planning tool, not a RCA method.
2. The BCMS implementation team is reviewing the standard's structure to understand where 'Internal Audit' requirements are located. A junior member suggests looking at Clause 9.1.3. Which clause of ISO 22301:2019 actually mandates the conduct of internal audits at planned intervals? (Select one!)
AClause 10.1
BClause 9.3
CClause 9.1.3
DClause 9.2
Explanation
ISO 22301:2019 Clause 9.2 specifically covers Internal Audit, requiring organizations to conduct audits at planned intervals to determine conformity and effectiveness. Clause 9.1 covers monitoring and measurement, Clause 9.3 covers management review, and Clause 10 covers improvement. Misidentifying these clauses leads to incorrect audit planning.
3. The BC Coordinator at GlobalTrade is selecting a testing method for a new business continuity plan. The goal is to verify the effectiveness of the plan with a small group through discussion, without activating actual resources. Which method is appropriate? (Select one!)
ATechnical recovery test
BFull-scale exercise
CSimulation exercise run
DTabletop exercise held
Explanation
A tabletop exercise is a discussion-based session where a small group reviews the plan and discusses their roles in a hypothetical scenario. It does not involve actual resource activation or system failover. Full-scale exercises and simulations involve more complex, multi-departmental actions, while technical recovery tests focus specifically on IT systems.
4. An internal auditor at Contoso Corporation is assigned to audit the business continuity planning process. The auditor previously authored the BC plans being audited. What ISO 22301:2019 requirement does this assignment violate? (Select one!)
AAudit program planning requirements
BObjectivity and impartiality
CAudit reporting requirements
DAuditor competence requirements
Explanation
ISO 22301:2019 requires the organization to ensure the objectivity and impartiality of the audit process. Auditors must not audit their own work, as this creates a conflict of interest that compromises independence. Competence relates to auditor qualifications, program planning addresses audit scheduling and scope, and reporting concerns communication of results, none of which are violated by self-auditing.
5. An organization is analyzing its context using the PEST framework. They identify that a new government regulation regarding climate action will impact their supply chain. Which standard provides the specific guidance on how to apply the requirements of ISO 22301, including context analysis? (Select one!)
AISO 22301:2019
BISO 22313:2020
CISO/TS 22317:2021
DISO 22300:2025
Explanation
ISO 22313:2020 is the guidance standard for ISO 22301. It provides recommendations and guidance on the use of ISO 22301, including how to interpret and apply requirements such as context analysis. ISO 22301 contains the requirements themselves, not the detailed guidance on application. ISO/TS 22317 is specific to Business Impact Analysis, and ISO 22300 is the vocabulary standard. Therefore, ISO 22313 is the correct source for guidance on applying the context requirements.
