Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 194

The compensating control that MOST effectively addresses the risk associated with piggybacking into a restricted area without a dead-man door is:

Answer options

• A. using two-factor authentication
• B. using biometric door locks
• C. requiring employees to wear ID badges
• D. security awareness training

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Security awareness training is crucial as it educates employees about the risks of piggybacking and the importance of verifying access. While two-factor authentication and biometric locks enhance security, they do not specifically address the human element that can lead to piggybacking. ID badges help with identification but do not necessarily prevent unauthorized entry if employees do not understand the risks involved.
