Question #: 43
Topic #: 1

Classify the following scenario as major or minor non-conformity.

''The organization has a very mature information security policy. Lately, the organization has realized the need to focus on protection of PI. A formal PI identification exercise was done for this purpose and a mapping of PI and security controls was done. The organization has also put in place data masking technology in certain functions where the SPI was accessed by employees of a third party. However, the organization is yet to include PI specifically in its risk assessment exercise, incident management, testing, data classification and security architecture programs.''

Both major and minor, they’re halfway there but not fully compliant.

Wait, they haven't included PI in risk assessments? That's surprising!

I think it's minor since they have some controls in place.

Sounds like a major non-conformity to me.

I feel like this could be a minor issue since they are taking steps to protect PI, but I’m not confident about that.

It seems like they have some good measures in place, but the lack of PI in their risk assessment makes me think it could be both major and minor.

I remember a practice question where the absence of key controls led to a major non-conformity, but I'm not entirely sure if this situation is the same.

I'm leaning towards this being a major non-conformity since they haven't included PI in critical areas like risk assessment and incident management.

Interesting scenario. The organization seems to be on the right track, but the lack of PI integration in certain areas is concerning. I'll need to carefully weigh all the factors.

This is a tough call. They've made progress, but still have gaps. I'll need to really think through the significance of the missing elements to decide if it's major or minor.

Okay, they've got a mature security policy and have done some PI identification and protection, but are missing it in key areas. I'm leaning towards major non-conformity, but I'll double-check the criteria.

Hmm, the organization has taken some good steps, but it sounds like they still have work to do to fully integrate PI protection into their processes. I'll need to weigh the positives and negatives.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully analyze the details to determine if this is a major or minor non-conformity.

I'm with Glendora on this one. Protecting PI should be a top priority, and not having it properly integrated into their security programs is a major issue. Time to step it up!

Hmm, I'm going to go with 'Both Major & Minor' on this one. The organization has made some good progress, but still has work to do to fully integrate PI protection into their security practices.

I disagree. This seems like a major non-conformity to me. Failing to include PI in risk assessment, incident management, and other core security functions is a significant gap that needs to be addressed.

Agreed, this is a tough one. I can see both sides, but I think the fact that they've at least started the process with data masking and PI identification pushes it more towards 'Minor' in my book. Baby steps, people!
