Q: 10
A tech company rapidly expanded its operations over the past few years. Its information system,
consisting of servers, databases, and communication tools, is a critical part of its daily operations.
However, due to rapid growth and increased data flow, the company is now facing a saturation of its
information system. This saturation has led to slower response times, increased downtime, and
difficulty in managing the overwhelming volume of dat
a. In which category does this threat fall into?

I don’t think it’s A here. Infrastructure failures usually mean actual hardware breaking or going offline, like if a server dies physically. But the question says it’s about overload/saturation from usage, which points to technical failures (B). Compromise of functions (C) would be more about loss of core business ability or maybe security incidents. Open to counterarguments but B fits best, I think.
C/D? Had something like this in a mock, picked C since compromise of functions sounded closest to business impact. Not 100% sure though.
Its B. System being overwhelmed by traffic or data is a classic technical failure, not just a hardware issue. I think this lines up with ISO definitions, but open to counterpoints if anyone’s got them.
B matches what I see in the official guide and some practice test explanations for similar cases.
Pretty sure it's B. The issue is about system overload due to growth, which hits on technical limitations, not really hardware or total function compromise. Always felt ISO sees this as a technical failure but correct me if I missed something.
B fits this scenario, the issue is with system capacity hitting limits and slowing down but nothing's physically broken. That's technical failure.
C? Compromise of functions sounds like a bigger impact here since the business can't operate smoothly anymore.
A’s not right here, B lines up with what the ISO/IEC official guide says for non-physical system overloads. This kind of saturation is a technical failure, not an infrastructure one. That’s echoed in practice tests too. If someone’s got other sources saying different, let me know.
B tbh, infrastructure failure (A) is tempting but that’s usually hardware breakdown. Technical failure fits saturation. Disagree?
Probably B
