CISM Exam Dumps - Certified Information Security Manager

The primary objective of a business impact analysis (BIA) is to determine recovery priorities. The BIA is used to identify and analyze the potential effects of an incident on the organization, including the financial impact, operational impact, and reputational impact. The BIA also helps to identify critical resources and processes, determine recovery objectives and strategies, and develop recovery plans. Reference: Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) Study Manual, Chapter 4, Business Impact Analysis.

 The best way to ensure appropriate security controls are built into software is to integrate security throughout the development process. This means that security should be considered from the initial stages of planning, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance of the software. Integrating security throughout the development process helps to identify and mitigate security risks early, reduce the cost and complexity of fixing vulnerabilities later, improve the quality and reliability of the software, and enhance the trust and confidence of the users and customers. Integrating security throughout the development process also aligns with the best practices and standards of information security governance, such as the CISM framework123.

CISSP domain 8 overview: Software development security4

The best security control for an organization that permits the storage and use of its critical and sensitive information on employee-owned smartphones is establishing the authority to remote wipe. Remote wipe is a feature that allows an authorized administrator or user to remotely erase the data on a device in case of loss, theft, or compromise1. Remote wipe can help prevent unauthorized access or disclosure of the organization’s information on employee-owned smartphones, as well as protect the privacy of the employee’s personal data. Remote wipe can be implemented through various methods, such as mobile device management (MDM) software, native device features, or third-party applications2. However, remote wipe requires the consent and cooperation of the employee, as well as a clear policy that defines the conditions and procedures for its use. The other options are not the best security controls for an organization that permits the storage and use of its critical and sensitive information on employee-owned smartphones. Developing security awareness training is an important measure to educate employees about the security risks and responsibilities associated with using their own smartphones for work purposes, but it does not provide a technical or physical protection for the data on the devices3. Requiring the backup of the organization’s data by the user is a good practice to ensure data availability and recovery in case of device failure or loss, but it does not prevent unauthorized access or disclosure of the data on the devices4. Monitoring how often the smartphone is used is a possible way to detect abnormal or suspicious activities on the devices, but it does not prevent or mitigate the impact of a data breach on the devices.

 Managed security solutions are services provided by external vendors that offer security expertise, resources, and tools to help organizations protect their information assets and systems. A primary benefit of managed security solutions is that they allow organizations to focus on their core business operations, while delegating the security tasks to the service provider. This can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization, as well as reduce the complexity and cost of managing security internally. Managed security solutions can also provide a wider range of capabilities, easier implementation across an organization, and lower cost of operations, but these are not the primary benefits, as they may vary depending on the quality and scope of the service provider. References = CISM Review Manual, 16th Edition, ISACA, 2020, p. 841; CISM Online Review Course, Domain 3: Information Security Program Development and Management, Module 3: Information Security Program Management, ISACA2

Initiating incident response is the first course of action for an information security manager when an employee reports the loss of a personal mobile device containing corporate information. This will help to contain the incident, assess the impact, and take appropriate measures to prevent or mitigate further damage. According to ISACA, incident management is one of the key processes for information security governance. Initiating a device reset, disabling remote access, and conducting a risk assessment are possible subsequent actions, but they should be part of the incident response plan.
