CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 57

A new startup company is growing and wants to deploy a human resources management system on a private cloud that is only accessible to the human resources department. Which of the following is the BEST method of access control?

Answer options

• A. Discretionary access control
• B. Mandatory access control
• C. Non-discretionary access control
• D. Comprehensive access control

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Discretionary access control (DAC) is suitable in this scenario as it allows the HR department to manage access permissions, ensuring only authorized users can access the system. Mandatory access control (MAC) is more rigid and not ideal for a startup environment where flexibility is needed. Non-discretionary access control is more structured and may not provide the same level of user autonomy as DAC, while comprehensive access control is not a standard term in access control frameworks.
