CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 502

A systems administrator creates a script that validates OS version, patch levels, and installed applications when users log in. Which of the following examples best describes the purpose of this script?

Answer options

• A. Resource scaling
• B. Policy enumeration
• C. Baseline enforcement
• D. Guard rails implementation

Correct answer: C

Explanation
