Corrective and preventive actions

Answer:
I am sorry but in the new ISO 27001:2013 it is not used the term “preventive”, only is used the term “corrective” (the term “preventive” was only used in the previous version of the standard, I mean, ISO 27001:2005). Furthermore, the adequate definition is “corrective action”, not “corrective maintenance”.

Anyway, a corrective action is an action to eliminate the cause of a detected nonconformity or other undesirable situation, while a preventive action is an action to eliminate the cause of a potential nonconformity or other undesirable potential situation.
