Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 106

Which of the following approaches to bring your own device (BYOD) service delivery provides the BEST protection from data loss?

Answer options

• A. Implement penetration testing and session timeouts
• B. Implement remote monitoring
• C. Enforce strong passwords and data encryption
• D. Enable data wipe capabilities

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Enforcing strong passwords and data encryption ensures that sensitive information is securely accessed and protected, significantly reducing the risk of data loss. While remote monitoring and penetration testing can help identify vulnerabilities, they do not directly prevent data loss. Data wipe capabilities are useful but are more of a reactive measure rather than a proactive approach to securing data.
