During a security program review, you recommend instituting mandatory two-week vacations for system administrators so that any hidden fraudulent activity or policy violations can surface while they are away. Within standard information-security control taxonomies, how is this measure best classified?
Mandatory vacations are enforced through policy and management oversight, so they fall under the administrative (or managerial) class of controls. Their primary purpose is to uncover misuse that might be hidden by an employee who is always present; therefore they operate after an event begins and are intended to discover it, making them detective rather than preventive, physical, compensating, or purely deterrent.
