Clause 8.1 distinguishes between planned changes and unintended changes. How does the standard require each to be treated during operation?
- A.Both are simply logged with no further obligation
- B.Planned changes are ignored, while only unintended changes are controlled
- C.Both must be reversed before the ISMS continues
- D.Planned changes are controlled in advance, while unintended changes have their consequences reviewed and adverse effects mitigated
Why D is correct
Clause 8.1 requires planned changes to be controlled and the consequences of unintended changes to be reviewed, with action taken to mitigate adverse effects as necessary. The two categories are handled differently but both demand attention.
