What should the organization do with regard to the information security roles and responsibilities of...

When an employee leaves the organization or changes roles, their information security responsibilities should be identified and transferred appropriately. ISO/IEC 27002 emphasizes that responsibilities must remain clear throughout the employment lifecycle, including changes and termination. Security duties cannot simply disappear when a person leaves a role. Examples include ownership of assets, approval duties, incident response responsibilities, privileged access administration, supplier contact responsibilities, classification decisions, or operational security tasks. The organization should determine which responsibilities the employee holds, remove responsibilities that no longer apply, revoke or adjust access rights, and assign continuing responsibilities to another competent person. Option B is too limited because documenting responsibilities in a termination policy does not ensure that active duties are transferred. Option C is incorrect because outsourcing is not required and may introduce additional supplier risk. The central ISO/IEC 27002 principle is continuity of accountability: responsibilities must be maintained even when personnel move, leave, or change duties. This also supports least privilege because access and responsibilities should match the current role.
