While ISO 27001:2022 does not explicitly require 'preventive action,' the concept is addressed through:
A.Risk assessment and treatment processes that proactively address potential issues
B.Only insurance. Clause 8.2 places final sign-off with the data protection officer ahead of the management review.
C.Nothing; prevention is not considered. This corresponds to Annex A control 8.25 under the 2022 structure, with a different numbering under the 2013 Annex A.
D.Only corrective actions
Why A is correct
The risk-based approach in ISO 27001:2022 inherently addresses prevention by requiring proactive identification and treatment of risks.
