B. Emphasis on environmental sustainability and carbon footprint.
C. Integration of financial security and anti-money laundering measures.
D. Mandatory adoption of ISO 31000 risk management framework.
Correct Answer: A - Explicit inclusion of cybersecurity and
digital supply chain risks.

primary expansions; D is not mandatory but recommended.
Question 2

assessment does not consider interdependencies with critical subcontractors.
Which clause of ISO 28000:2022 is most directly violated?
A. Clause 4.1 Understanding the organization and its context
B. Clause 5.2 Security policy
C. Clause 6.1 Actions to address risks and opportunities
D. Clause 8.1 Operational planning and control
Correct Answer: C - Clause 6.1 Actions to address risks and
opportunities
Page 2
, RATIONALE
Clause 6.1 requires the organization to plan actions to address risks,
including considering external and internal issues. Subcontractor
interdependencies are part of risk assessment. Clause 4.1 sets context
but doesn't specify risk assessment details.
Question 3
An auditor is evaluating an organization's security policy. The policy states:
'We will comply with all applicable laws.' Which additional element is required
by ISO 28000:2022 to make this policy conformant?
A. A commitment to continual improvement.
B. A list of specific laws and regulations.
C. A statement of penalties for non-compliance.
D. A requirement for annual policy review by external auditors.
Correct Answer: A - A commitment to continual improvement.
RATIONALE
ISO 28000:2022 Clause 5.2 requires the security policy to include a
commitment to continual improvement. Listing laws (B) is not
required; penalties (C) and external review (D) are not mandated.
Question 4
Which of the following best illustrates the principle of 'risk-based thinking' in
the context of ISO 28000 lead auditing?
A. Auditing only the highest-risk processes identified in the previous
audit.
B. Using a checklist to ensure all clauses are covered equally.
C. Prioritizing audit trails based on the potential impact on security
objectives.
D. Conducting audits annually regardless of changes in the risk
environment.
Page 3
, Correct Answer: C - Prioritizing audit trails based on the
potential impact on security objectives.

Risk-based thinking in auditing means focusing efforts on areas with
the greatest potential impact on security objectives. A is too narrow; B
ignores risk; D is static and not risk-based.
Question 5
An organization uses a third-party logistics provider (3PL) that is not ISO
28000 certified. According to ISO 28000:2022, how should the organization
address this in its supply chain security management system?
A. Require the 3PL to become certified within one year.
B. Conduct a risk assessment and apply controls to ensure security
objectives are met.
C. Terminate the contract immediately.
D. Ignore the 3PL since it is outside the organization's boundary.
Correct Answer: B - Conduct a risk assessment and apply
controls to ensure security objectives are met.
RATIONALE
ISO 28000:2022 Clause 8.1 requires control over externally provided
processes. The organization must assess risks and apply controls, not
necessarily require certification (A) or terminate (C). D violates the
standard's scope.
Question 6

for ensuring supply chain resilience?
