CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 59

A company is terminating an employee for misbehavior. Which of the following steps is MOST important in the process of disengagement from this employee?

Answer options

• A. Obtain a list of passwords used by the employee.
• B. Generate a report on outstanding projects the employee handled.
• C. Have the employee surrender company identification.
• D. Have the employee sign an NDA before departing.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Having the employee surrender company identification is critical to protect company assets and information. While obtaining passwords and generating reports are important, they do not directly address the immediate security concerns associated with the employee's departure. Signing an NDA is also important but comes after ensuring that all company property is returned.
