Topic #: 2
Scenario 9: OpenTech provides IT and communications services. It helps data communication enterprises and network operators become multi-service providers During an internal audit, its internal auditor, Tim, has identified nonconformities related to the monitoring procedures He identified and evaluated several system Invulnerabilities.
Tim found out that user IDs for systems and services that process sensitive information have been reused and the access control policy has not been followed After analyzing the root causes of this nonconformity, the ISMS project manager developed a list of possible actions to resolve the nonconformity. Then, the ISMS project manager analyzed the list and selected the activities that would allow the elimination of the root cause and the prevention of a similar situation in the future. These activities were included in an action plan The action plan, approved by the top management, was written as follows:
A new version of the access control policy will be established and new restrictions will be created to ensure that network access is effectively managed and monitored by the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Department The approved action plan was implemented and all actions described in the plan were documented.
Based on scenario 9. is the action plan for the identified nonconformities sufficient to eliminate the detected nonconformities?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, clause 10.1, an action plan for nonconformities and corrective actions should include the following elements1:
What needs to be done
Who is responsible for doing it
When it will be completed
How the effectiveness of the actions will be evaluated
How the results of the actions will be documented
In scenario 9, the action plan only describes what needs to be done and who is responsible for doing it, but it does not specify when it will be completed, how the effectiveness of the actions will be evaluated, and how the results of the actions will be documented. Therefore, the action plan is not sufficient to eliminate the detected nonconformities.
