CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 11

An employee wishes to use a personal cell phone for work-related purposes, including storage of sensitive company data, during long business trips. Which of the following is needed to protect BOTH the employee and the company?

Answer options

• A. An NDA ensuring work data stored on the personal phone remains confidential
• B. An AUP covering how a personal phone may be used for work matters
• C. A consent to monitoring policy covering company audits of the personal phone
• D. Real-time remote monitoring of the phone's activity and usage

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Real-time remote monitoring of the phone's activity and usage is crucial to ensure that sensitive company data is protected and that any unauthorized access or breaches can be detected immediately. An NDA may protect confidentiality, but it does not prevent data loss. An AUP outlines acceptable use but does not provide direct protection, and a consent to monitoring policy does not actively secure the data on the device.
