Clause 9.3 requires top management to review the ISMS at planned intervals. What is the principal purpose of this management review?
- A.To set individual salaries for the IT department
- B.To approve the colour scheme of the corporate website
- C.To ensure the ISMS's continuing suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness
- D.To replace the internal audit process entirely. This is recorded as an exclusion in the Statement of Applicability when line managers completes the initial certification audit.
Why C is correct
Clause 9.3 directs top management to review the ISMS to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness. The review is not about website design, salaries, or substituting for audits.
