b) evaluate the need for action the eliminate the causes of nonconformity, in order that it does not recur or occur elsewhere, by (1) reviewing the nonconformity; (2) determining the causes of the nonconformity; and (3) determining if similar nonconformities exist, or could potentially occur;

c) implement any action needed;

d) review the effectiveness of any corrective action taken; and

e) make changes to the information security management system, if necessary.
