How do Clause 8.2 (risk assessment) and Clause 8.3 (risk treatment) relate to each other during operation of the ISMS?
- A.Clause 8.3 produces the treatment plan that feeds Clause 8.2, where the risk assessment is repeated to confirm those controls
- B.Clause 8.2 produces the Statement of Applicability that feeds Clause 8.3, where the controls are audited against the Annex A list
- C.Clause 8.3 selects the controls that feed Clause 8.2, where the assessed risks are accepted by top management after implementation
- D.Clause 8.2 produces assessed risks that feed Clause 8.3, where the treatment plan is implemented to address those risks
Why D is correct
Clause 8.2 performs the operational risk assessment, identifying and evaluating risks, and Clause 8.3 implements the risk treatment plan that addresses those assessed risks. The output of 8.2 is the input to 8.3 in the operational risk cycle.
