CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 14

The Chief Compliance Officer from a bank has approved a background check policy for all new hires. Which of the following is the policy MOST likely protecting against?

Answer options

• A. Preventing any current employees' siblings from working at the bank to prevent nepotism
• B. Hiring an employee who has been convicted of theft to adhere to industry compliance
• C. Filtering applicants who have added false information to resumes so they appear better qualified
• D. Ensuring no new hires have worked at other banks that may be trying to steal customer information

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the background check policy is designed to ensure that new hires do not have disqualifying criminal histories, such as theft, which is crucial for maintaining compliance in the banking industry. Options A, C, and D do not directly relate to compliance issues regarding criminal records, and thus do not address the primary focus of the policy.
