CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 95

An organization has an account management policy that defines parameters around each type of account. The policy specifies different security attributes, such as longevity, usage auditing, password complexity, and identity proofing. The goal of the account management policy is to ensure the highest level of security while providing the greatest availability without compromising data integrity for users. Which of the following account types should the policy specify for service technicians from corporate partners?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, the Privileged user account, as it provides the necessary elevated permissions for service technicians to perform their duties securely. Guest, User, Shared, Default, and Service accounts do not offer the required level of access or control needed for corporate partner technicians, making them unsuitable for this scenario.
