1. Right Answer: B
Explanation: Without a copy of the business continuity plan, recovery efforts would be severely hampered or may not be effective. All other choices would not be as immediately critical as the business continuity plan itself. The business continuity plan would contain a list of the emergency numbers of service providers.
2. Right Answer: A
Explanation: The security manager should first assess the likelihood of a similar incident occurring, based on available information. Discontinuing the use of the vulnerable technology would not necessarily be practical since it would likely be needed to support the business. Reporting to senior management that the organization is not affected due to controls already in place would be premature until the information security manager can first assess the impact of the incident. Until this has been researched, it is not certain that no similar security breaches have taken place.
3. Right Answer: A
Explanation: Proper messages need to be sent quickly through a specific identified person so that there are no rumors or statements made that may damage reputation.Choices B, C and D are not recommended until the message to be communicated is made clear and the spokesperson has already spoken to the media.
4. Right Answer: C
Explanation: The data owner should be notified prior to any action being taken. Copying sample files as evidence is not advisable since it breaches confidentiality requirements on the file. Removing access privileges to the folder containing the data should be done by the data owner or by the security manager in consultation with the data owner, however, this would be done only after formally reporting the incident. Training the human resources (MR) team on properly controlling file permissions is the method to prevent such incidents in the future, but should take place once the incident reporting and investigation activities are completed.
5. Right Answer: B
Explanation: The integrity of evidence should be kept, following the appropriate forensic techniques to obtain the evidence and a chain of custody procedure to maintain the evidence (in order to be accepted in a court of law). All other options are pan of the investigative procedure, but they are not as important as preserving the integrity of the evidence.
