Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 1256

Which of the following would BEST prevent the potential leakage of sensitive corporate data from personal mobile devices accessing corporate applications?

Answer options

• A. Limiting access and capabilities when connecting to the Internet
• B. Creating a separate secure partition on the devices
• C. Monitoring employee connections to the corporate network
• D. Requiring employees to sign acknowledgment of an acceptable use policy

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Creating a separate secure partition on the devices (B) effectively isolates corporate data from personal data, minimizing the risk of leakage. The other options, while important for security, do not provide the same level of data protection; limiting access (A) and monitoring connections (C) do not prevent data leakage directly, and requiring acknowledgment of policy (D) focuses more on compliance than on data security.
