A project manager is forming a team for a project that will handle confidential client information. Which action should the project manager take to uphold operational security during team selection?
Ensure all team members have completed background checks and have required security clearances
Develop a risk management plan focusing on timelines
Hold a kickoff meeting to introduce project objectives
Select team members based on their technical skills and experience
The project manager should ensure all potential team members have undergone necessary background screening and possess any required security clearances. This step is crucial for projects involving confidential data to prevent unauthorized access and maintain security protocols. While technical skills and experience are important, they do not address security risks related to sensitive information. Scheduling meetings or focusing on project timelines does not directly contribute to verifying the security credentials of team members.
