EXIN Information Security Foundation (ISFS) — Question 2

A company moves into a new building. A few weeks after the move, a visitor appears unannounced in the office of the director. An investigation shows that visitors passes grant the same access as the passes of the companys staff. Which kind of security measure could have prevented this?

Answer options

• A. A physical security measure
• B. An organizational security measure
• C. A technical security measure

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Implementing a physical security measure, such as more stringent access controls or visitor management systems, would have restricted unauthorized access. An organizational security measure focuses on policies and procedures, which may not directly control physical entry. A technical security measure, while important for data protection, does not address the physical access issue presented in this scenario.
