During an audit, it was revealed that access to a secure data center was not limited to authorized personnel, and maintenance staff without proper security clearance were allowed entry. What type of security control should be improved to address this situation?
The correct answer is 'Access controls' because they are a form of operational controls designed to regulate who can view or use resources in a computing environment. The situation described suggests a failure in the implementation of access controls, as unauthorized personnel were able to gain access to a secure area. Improved access controls would ensure that only authorized individuals have entry to sensitive areas.
