Answer Description

A compensating control is indeed a security measure put in place when a primary security control is inadequate or cannot be implemented. These controls provide an alternative means to achieve the desired level of security, ensuring the vulnerability is still addressed adequately. For example, if an organization cannot encrypt data at rest due to performance constraints, it might implement enhanced access controls and monitoring as compensating controls.
