Scenario 1: Fintive is a distinguished security provider for online payments and protection solutions. Founded in 1999 by Thomas Fin in San Jose, California, Fintive

offers services to companies that operate online and want to improve their information security, prevent fraud, and protect user information such as PII. Fintive centers

its decision-making and operating process based on previous cases. They gather customer data, classify them depending on the case, and analyze them. The company

needed a large number of employees to be able to conduct such complex analyses. After some years, however, the technology that assists in conducting such analyses

advanced as well. Now, Fintive is planning on using a modern tool, a chatbot, to achieve pattern analyses toward preventing fraud in real-time. This tool would also be

used to assist in improving customer service.

This initial idea was communicated to the software development team, who supported it and were assigned to work on this project. They began integrating the chatbot

on their existing system. In addition, the team set an objective regarding the chatbot which was to answer 85% of all chat queries.

After the successful integration of the chatbot, the company immediately released it to their customers for use. The chatbot, however, appeared to have some issues.

Due to insufficient testing and lack of samples provided to the chatbot during the training phase, in which it was supposed "to learn" the queries pattern, the chatbot

failed to address user queries and provide the right answers. Furthermore, the chatbot sent random files to users when it received invalid inputs such as odd patterns

of dots and special characters. Therefore, the chatbot was unable to properly answer customer queries and the traditional customer support was overwhelmed with

chat queries and thus was unable to help customers with their requests.

Consequently, Fintive established a software development policy. This policy specified that whether the software is developed in-house or outsourced, it will undergo a

black box testing prior to its implementation on operational systems.

What type of security control does the use of black box testing represent? Refer to scenario 1.

Scenario 5: Data Grid Inc. is a well-known company that delivers security services across the entire information technology infrastructure. It provides cybersecurity software, including endpoint security, firewalls, and antivirus software. For two decades, Data Grid Inc. has helped various companies secure their networks through advanced products and services. Having achieved reputation in the information and network security field, Data Grid Inc. decided to obtain the ISO/IEC 27001 certification to better secure its internal and customer assets and gain competitive advantage.

Data Grid Inc. appointed the audit team, who agreed on the terms of the audit mandate. In addition, Data Grid Inc. defined the audit scope, specified the audit criteria, and proposed to close the audit within five days. The audit team rejected Data Grid Inc.'s proposal to conduct the audit within five days, since the company has a large number of employees and complex processes. Data Grid Inc. insisted that they have planned to complete the audit within five days, so both parties agreed upon conducting the audit within the defined duration. The audit team followed a risk-based auditing approach.

To gain an overview of the main business processes and controls, the audit team accessed process descriptions and organizational charts. They were unable to perform a deeper analysis of the IT risks and controls because their access to the IT infrastructure and applications was restricted. However, the audit team stated that the risk that a significant defect could occur to Data Grid Inc.'s ISMS was low since most of the company's processes were automated. They therefore evaluated that the ISMS, as a whole, conforms to the standard requirements by asking the representatives of Data Grid Inc. the following questions:

* How are responsibilities for IT and IT controls defined and assigned?

* How does Data Grid Inc. assess whether the controls have achieved the desired results?

* What controls does Data Grid Inc. have in place to protect the operating environment and data from malicious software?

* Are firewall-related controls implemented?

Data Grid Inc.'s representatives provided sufficient and appropriate evidence to address all these questions.

The audit team leader drafted the audit conclusions and reported them to Data Grid Inc.'s top management. Though Data Grid Inc. was recommended for certification by the auditors, misunderstandings were raised between Data Grid Inc. and the certification body in regards to audit objectives. Data Grid Inc. stated that even though the audit objectives included the identification of areas for potential improvement, the audit team did not provide such information.

Based on this scenario, answer the following question:

Which type of audit risk was defined as ''low* by the audit team? Refer to scenario 5.
