Preview — answers shown1. The legal department requires that all third-party contracts include specific security clauses. The security team implements a contract review process. Which control type does this process represent? (Select one!)
AProcedural
BLegal
CPhysical
DTechnical
Explanation
Controls derived from laws, regulations, and contracts are classified as legal controls. While the review process is procedural, the source and nature of the requirement (contractual obligations) place it in the legal control type category. Technical and physical controls are unrelated to contractual requirements.
2. An organization implements a backup system that automatically restores data after a ransomware attack. The security architect classifies this as a technical control. What is its primary function? (Select one!)
ADetective
BCorrective
CAdaptive
DPreventive
Explanation
Backup and restoration systems are corrective controls because they restore systems and processes after an incident has occurred. Preventive controls stop the attack, and detective controls identify the attack. Adaptive is not a standard control function classification in ISO/IEC 27001.
3. Meridian Health is implementing an ISMS. The CISO wants to ensure staff can apply security skills to achieve intended results. Which capacity-building element directly addresses this requirement? (Select one!)
AConsultation
BCommunication
CAwareness
DCompetence
Explanation
Competence is defined as the ability to apply knowledge and skills to achieve intended results, which is the core of capacity building for ISMS implementation. Awareness refers to understanding the policy and one's contribution, not the practical application of skills. Communication and consultation are processes for sharing information and engaging interested parties, not for building individual skill application capabilities.
4. A retail company is deploying a new point-of-sale system. The security architect allocates the encryption control to the payment gateway. How should this control be classified in terms of allocation? (Select one!)
AHybrid
BOrganizational
CCommon
DSystem-specific
Explanation
Controls allocated to a specific system or component, such as encryption on a payment gateway, are classified as system-specific. Common controls are shared across multiple systems, while hybrid controls involve shared responsibility between the organization and a provider. Organizational is a theme, not an allocation type.
5. A financial institution updates its data retention policy to comply with new regulations. The policy document is updated and distributed to all staff. Which type of control does this policy represent? (Select one!)
AManagerial
BTechnical
CAdministrative
DPhysical
Explanation
Policies and procedures implemented by people and processes are classified as administrative (or procedural) controls. Technical controls involve technology like software or hardware, while physical controls protect physical assets. Managerial controls relate to governance and risk management frameworks, but specific operational policies like data retention are typically categorized as administrative in the context of control types.
