I’m a bit confused about this one. I thought internal audits had to be done internally to ensure proper oversight, but I see the benefits of outsourcing as well.

I feel like option C makes sense too, though. If a third party is involved, it could affect the audit's objectivity.

I remember discussing that outsourcing can help small organizations maintain independence, but I'm not entirely sure if it's allowed under ISO 27001.

I'm a little confused on this one. Isn't the internal audit supposed to be done by the organization itself? I'll need to review the details of the question and the options more closely.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I know the internal audit is supposed to be independent, but I'm not sure if outsourcing it completely is the right move. I'll need to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty confident about this one. The key is to remember that the internal audit function is meant to be independent and impartial, so outsourcing it to a third party would likely be the better option for a small organization.

Okay, I've read through the question a few times now. Based on my understanding, Option B seems to be the right answer. Patches can be downloaded manually or automatically from the Oracle support site, and then installed using the smpatch or patchadd commands.

Option A all the way! Small organizations need to get creative to meet the requirements. Besides, I heard outsourcing is the new trend – it's like hiring a professional referee for your own game.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Option B sounds more logical to me. How can you audit your own system? Seems like a conflict of interest.
