ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 39 of 100

ISMS certification assesses an information security management system, and the certification is performed by an independent third-party institution. External assessment provides impartial assurance that the organization's ISMS is established and operated in conformity with the certification standard.

Answer (d)

Why not others:
- ISMS stands for information security management system, not personal information protection management system

- an organization's internal audit department can review the ISMS but cannot provide the independent certification described

Key rule: Internal audits support continual improvement; accredited external certification bodies conduct conformity assessment for ISMS certification.
