Preview — answers shown1. An organization calculates that a single data breach would cost $50,000 and expects such a breach to occur once every five years. What is the Annualized Loss Expectancy (ALE)? (Select one!)
A$5,000
B$50,000
C$10,000
D$250,000
Explanation
Annualized Loss Expectancy (ALE) is calculated as Single Loss Expectancy (SLE) multiplied by Annualized Rate of Occurrence (ARO). Here, SLE is $50,000. The ARO is 1/5 or 0.2 (once every five years). Therefore, ALE = $50,000 * 0.2 = $10,000. The other options represent incorrect calculations of the annualized cost based on the given frequency.
2. In the context of the incident management life cycle, which phase involves the identification, reporting, and recording of information security incidents? (Select one!)
ALearn Lessons
BAssess and Decide
CDetect and Report
DPlan and Prepare
Explanation
The Detect and Report phase is specifically responsible for identifying, reporting, and recording incidents. Plan and Prepare establishes the framework. Assess and Decide evaluates and prioritizes. Learn Lessons extracts insights after response. Therefore, detection and reporting activities occur in the second phase.
3. The incident management team identifies that a recent incident was caused by a lack of clear escalation paths. Which type of gap does this represent in the context of lessons learned? (Select one!)
ASkill Gap
BProcess Gap
CTechnical Gap
DResource Gap
Explanation
Unclear roles, missing escalation paths, or inadequate communication protocols are classified as Process Gaps. Technical Gaps relate to deficiencies in tools or logging coverage. Skill Gaps refer to a lack of knowledge or training among team members. Resource Gaps involve insufficient personnel or budget. The issue described is a structural flaw in the procedure, not a technical or human capability issue.
4. The Incident Management Team (IMT) is reviewing the organization's incident response structure. In which phase of the ISO/IEC 27035 lifecycle is the IMT formally established? (Select one!)
APlan and Prepare
BAssess and Decide
CDetect and Report
DLearn Lessons
Explanation
The Incident Management Team (IMT) is established during the Plan and Prepare phase. This phase involves setting up the incident management policy, plan, and team structures before any incidents occur. The Incident Response Team (IRT) is evaluated during the Learn Lessons phase, not established in the initial planning phase. The other phases involve executing the response or analyzing past incidents.
5. A gap analysis identifies that the organization has not evaluated the Incident Response Team (IRT) performance. Which phase of the lifecycle is primarily responsible for this evaluation? (Select one!)
ARespond
BLearn Lessons
CDetect and Report
DPlan and Prepare
Explanation
The Incident Response Team (IRT) is evaluated in the Learn Lessons phase to identify areas for improvement. Failing to evaluate the IRT is a gap in the Learn Lessons phase. The IRT is not evaluated in Plan and Prepare, Respond, or Detect and Report, which focus on planning, active response, and identification.
