Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract ISO/IEC 27000 standards:

According to ISO/IEC 27000:2018, Clause 3.35:

''Integrity is the property of accuracy and completeness.''

This is one of the three core principles of information security (CIA triad):

Confidentiality: ensuring information is not made available to unauthorized persons (related to option B).

Integrity: ensuring data is accurate, complete, and unaltered except by authorized means.

Availability: ensuring information is accessible and usable when required (related to option A).

Option D incorrectly mixes availability and confidentiality. The precise ISO definition is accuracy and completeness, which matches option C.

Thus, the correct verified answer is C.

Clause 9.1 requires:

''The organization shall evaluate the information security performance and the effectiveness of the information security management system.''

This is the central purpose of monitoring, measurement, analysis, and evaluation. Competence (B) is covered under Clause 7.2. Monitoring use of assets (C) and outsourced processes (D) may be done, but they are not the formal purpose described in the standard. Instead, performance evaluation ensures the ISMS continues to meet intended outcomes and supports continual improvement.

Thus, the verified purpose is A: To evaluate information security performance.

The benefits of implementing an ISMS under ISO/IEC 27001 are well established. Clause 0.1 (General) explains that an ISMS provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive information and ''preserves confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information by applying a risk management process and gives confidence to interested parties that risks are adequately managed.''

Option A is correct as a benefit, since trust and confidence from stakeholders is an outcome of compliance. Option C is also a benefit, since controls are chosen and tailored based on organizational context and risk assessment (Clause 6.1.3). Option D reflects another real benefit---reducing the probability and/or impact of incidents through effective risk management.

However, staff qualifications (option B) are not guaranteed benefits of implementing an ISMS. While training and competence (Clause 7.2) are required, the standard does not require or provide ISO/IEC 27001 Foundation-level certification for staff. That is an external training/certification scheme, not an ISMS outcome.

Therefore, the benefit NOT relevant to implementing ISO/IEC 27001 is B.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract ISO/IEC 27001 & 27002:2022 standards:

ISO/IEC 27001 Annex A lists reference controls. ISO/IEC 27002 provides detailed guidance on the implementation of those controls, including purpose, guidance, and examples. Clause 6.1.3 of ISO/IEC 27001 makes the link explicit: controls from Annex A are referenced, but ISO/IEC 27002 explains how to implement them.

However, ISO/IEC 27002 does not provide a process for risk management---that is covered by ISO/IEC 27005. Risk management requirements are in ISO/IEC 27001 (Clauses 6.1.2 and 6.1.3).

Therefore, statement 1 is true, but statement 2 is false. Correct answer: A.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract ISO/IEC 27002:2022 standards:

Annex A.5.1 (Policies for information security) clearly specifies:

''Information security policy and topic-specific policies should be defined, approved by management, published, communicated to and acknowledged by relevant personnel and relevant interested parties...''

This means the communication obligation is not limited to top management (A) or only ISMS staff (B), nor does it stop at employees only (C). Instead, ISO/IEC 27001/27002 mandate a broader scope: all relevant personnel and relevant interested parties must be informed. This ensures both internal stakeholders (employees, contractors, temporary staff) and external interested parties (suppliers, partners, regulators, customers, etc.) receive the right policy communications where applicable. Therefore, the correct and verified answer is D.
