According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, which specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS), clause 7.2 requires an organization to determine the necessary competence of persons doing work under its control that affects its ISMS performance, and to provide training or take other actions to acquire or maintain the necessary competence1. Control A.6.3 requires an organization to ensure that all employees and contractors are aware of information security threats and concerns, their responsibilities and liabilities, and are equipped to support organizational policies and procedures in this respect2. Therefore, if an ISMS auditor finds that the information security incident training effectiveness can be improved, this indicates an opportunity for improvement (OFI) that is relevant to clause 7.2 and control A.6.3.
According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, clause 9.1 requires an organization to monitor, measure, analyze and evaluate its ISMS performance and effectiveness1. Control A.5.24 requires an organization to define and apply procedures for reporting information security events and weaknesses2. Therefore, if an ISMS auditor finds that based on sampling interview results, none of the interviewees were able to describe the incident management procedure reporting process including the role and responsibilities of personnel, this indicates a nonconformity (NC) that is not conforming with clause 9.1 and control A.5.24.
The other options are not correct options for preparing the audit findings based on the given information. For example, there is no nonconformance if the information security weaknesses, events, and incidents are reported, as this conforms with clause 9.1 and control A.5.24; there is no nonconformance if the information security handling training has performed, and its effectiveness was evaluated, as this conforms with clause 7.2 and control A.6.3; there is no nonconformity if the information security incident training has failed, as this may not necessarily indicate a lack of conformity with clause 7.2 or control A.6.3; there is no opportunity for improvement if the information security weaknesses, events, and incidents are reported, as this is already conforming with clause 9.1 and control A.5.24.
