Actual exam question for PECB's ISO-IEC-27001-Lead-Implementer exam
Question #: 172
Topic #: 3
A tech company rapidly expanded its operations over the past few years. Its information system, consisting of servers, databases, and communication tools, is a critical part of its daily operations. However, due to rapid growth and increased data flow, the company is now facing a saturation of its information system. This saturation has led to slower response times, increased downtime, and difficulty in managing the overwhelming volume of data. In which category does this threat fall into?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

Slower response times, downtime, and system saturation due to increased data flow and rapid expansion are categorized as technical failures. These issues directly relate to the limitations and breakdowns of IT systems (hardware, software, and communications infrastructure).
ISO/IEC 27005:2022 classifies such events as technical failures:
"Technical failures: Failures of IT systems, software, or infrastructure, including overload, saturation, or breakdowns, which affect the availability and performance of information systems."
