Should be B. Keeping information security policies and procedures up-to-date (option D) is an important aspect of an ISMS, but it is not the main purpose. An ISMS involves a more comprehensive approach to managing information security, encompassing not only policies and procedures but also risk assessment, controls implementation, monitoring, and continuous improvement.

B is the Answer: An information security management system (ISMS) is a set of policies and procedures for systematically managing an organization's sensitive data. The goal of an ISMS is to minimize risk and ensure business continuity by pro-actively limiting the impact of a security breach.
