CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 526

A company employee recently retired, and there was a schedule delay because no one was capable of filling the employee's position. Which of the following practices would BEST help to prevent this situation in the future?

Answer options

• A. Mandatory vacation
• B. Separation of duties
• C. Job rotation
• D. Exit interviews

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Job rotation allows employees to gain experience in multiple roles, ensuring that more than one person is capable of performing critical tasks. This practice helps mitigate the risk of operational delays caused by the absence of key personnel. The other options, while beneficial in various contexts, do not specifically address the need for cross-training and skill diversification in the workforce.
