Isaca CISM Exam - Topic 6 Question 84 Discussion

Posted by Doug on Sep 15, 2024 at 03:11 AM

While responding to a high-profile security incident, an information security manager observed several deficiencies in the current incident response plan. When would be the BEST time to update the plan?

Suggested Answer: C

During post-incident review is the best time to update the incident response plan after observing several deficiencies in the current plan while responding to a high-profile security incident. A post-incident review is a process of analyzing and evaluating the incident response activities, identifying the lessons learned, and documenting the recommendations and action items for improvement. Updating the incident response plan during post-incident review helps to ensure that the plan reflects the current best practices, addresses the gaps and weaknesses, and incorporates the feedback and suggestions from the incident response team and other stakeholders. Therefore, during post-incident review is the correct answer.

I’m not sure, can we really fix things on the fly?

After a risk reassessment makes sense, but not the best time.

Wait, updating while responding? That sounds risky!

I think a tabletop exercise is a good time too.

I’m leaning towards after a risk reassessment, but I can’t recall if that’s the most effective timing compared to the others.

I feel like responding to the incident itself could be too chaotic for making updates. Maybe post-incident is better?

I remember a practice question that emphasized the importance of post-incident reviews. That might be the right answer here.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'd need to review the incident response plan and the details of the security incident to determine the best time to update it. Maybe I'll jot down a few notes and come back to this question later.

I'm leaning towards D - after a risk reassessment. That way, you can ensure the incident response plan aligns with the current threat landscape and organizational risks.

Hmm, I'm a bit torn between B and C. A tabletop exercise could be a good time to test the plan and identify areas for improvement, but the post-incident review might provide more concrete insights. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question. I'd go with option C - during the post-incident review, when you can thoroughly analyze what went wrong and make the necessary updates.
LE

I remember we discussed that business activities related to money laundering are definitely a red flag. So, B seems like a good choice.
AB

A - During the incident, of course! Multitasking at its finest. You can update the plan while also putting out fires. What could go wrong?
LE

B! Tabletop exercises are the ideal time to test the plan and find those weaknesses. Plus, it's a lot less stressful than a real incident.

I'd have to go with D. Doing a full risk reassessment first will help ensure the updated plan covers all the bases. No point in rushing it.

Definitely C. Trying to fix the plan while dealing with a crisis is just asking for trouble. Post-incident review is the perfect time to make those improvements.
