Which of the following is NOT part of an action plan?

An action plan is a strategic outline designed to address and rectify identified issues within an organization's processes, especially in the context of an ISO/IEC 27001 audit. It typically includes several critical elements.

The item labeled as the project plan to treat the nonconformity is not typically considered a direct part of an action plan. Instead, an action plan focuses on the immediate corrective measures and ensures that there is a structured approach to resolving specific issues. While project management techniques may be applied to ensure successful implementation of the corrective actions, the action plan itself is primarily concerned with identifying nonconformities, taking corrective actions, and eliminating root causes to prevent recurrence.

On the other hand, the correction of nonconformities, the elimination of root causes, and the assessment of corrective action effectiveness are integral components of an action plan. These elements ensure that the organization not only addresses the symptoms of any issues but also implements measures to avoid similar problems in the future.
