ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Practice Question
Under the standard classification of security controls, which of the following is an example of a physical control rather than an administrative or technical control?
Implementing multi-factor authentication with one-time passcodes
Conducting quarterly reviews of user access privileges
Requiring full-disk encryption on all company laptops
Posting a security guard at the data-center entrance
A security guard physically restricts or permits entry to a facility, making the control tangible and location-based; therefore it is categorized as a physical control. Encryption of laptops is a technical control because it relies on software and algorithms. Reviewing user privileges is an administrative control involving policy and oversight. Multi-factor authentication with one-time passcodes is also a technical control that uses electronic mechanisms to verify identity.
