CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 595

Which of the following types of controls is a turnstile?

Answer options

• A. Physical
• B. Detective
• C. Corrective
• D. Technical

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A turnstile is classified as a Physical control because it is a tangible barrier that restricts access to a designated area. Detective controls, such as cameras, monitor activities but do not prevent access. Corrective controls are designed to fix issues after they occur, while Technical controls involve software or hardware solutions to enforce security.
