- B.To verify that internal audits ran on time, controls are tested, and findings are closed
- C.To ensure the ISMS's continuing suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness
- D.To approve the policy, appoint auditors, and set the budget
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.
