Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) Part 3: Business Knowledge for Internal Auditing — Question 195

Which of the following physical security controls would most likely be used as a corrective control?

Answer options

• A. Monitored closed circuit televisions.
• B. Doors that lock automatically.
• C. Biometric locks.
• D. Identification badges.

Correct answer: A

The other options, such as automatic locking doors, biometric locks, and identification badges, are primarily preventative controls designed to restrict access rather than respond to security breaches.
