Which statement is a factor that will influence the implementation of the information security management...

ISO/IEC 27001 makes clear that the ISMS is intended to be tailored to the organization. The standard states: “This document also includes requirements for the assessment and treatment of information security risks tailored to the needs of the organization. The requirements set out in this document are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations regardless of type, size or nature.” This means implementation is scaled based on each organization’s risk, context, and needs, not a fixed one-size-fits-all set of activities or controls. Clause 6.1.3 further reinforces that control selection is flexible and risk-driven: “Organizations can design controls as required or identify them from any source,” and “Annex A contains a list of possible information security controls… The information security controls listed in Annex A are not exhaustive and additional information security controls can be included if needed.” Together, these extracts verify that the ISMS implementation is influenced by and scaled to the organization’s needs and selected controls, not separated from management processes (A, D) nor mandated to include “all controls” (B).
