CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 136

A team of support agents will be using their workstations to store credit card data. Which of the following should the IT department enable on the workstations in order to remain compliant with common regulatory controls? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Encryption
• B. Antivirus
• C. AutoRun
• D. Guest accounts
• E. Default passwords
• F. Backups

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Encryption is essential for protecting sensitive credit card data, ensuring that it is unreadable without the proper decryption keys. Antivirus software is also critical for preventing malware that could compromise data security. The other options, such as AutoRun and Guest accounts, can introduce security risks, while default passwords and backups do not specifically address the compliance requirements for storing sensitive information.
