Your Market is a market research company evaluating the effectiveness of its information security controls through an ISMS audit. What is Your Market in this case?

In this scenario, Your Market is conducting an evaluation of its information security controls through an ISMS (Information Security Management System) audit. The term "auditee" refers to the organization that is being audited.

As the entity undergoing the audit, Your Market is responsible for providing the necessary documentation, evidence, and support to the auditor to demonstrate the effectiveness of its information security controls. The audit process aims to assess whether Your Market’s ISMS complies with relevant standards, such as ISO/IEC 27001, and ascertain how effectively it protects its information assets.

The other roles mentioned in the choices—like an accreditation body, a certification body, and an external auditor—play different parts in the auditing and certification processes. An accreditation body evaluates certification bodies, a certification body issues certifications based on audit results, and an external auditor conducts the audit itself. In this case, none of these roles applies to Your Market, which directly aligns with being the auditee.
