Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 391

Print jobs containing confidential information are sent to a shared network printer located in a secure room. Which of the following is the BEST control to prevent the inappropriate disclosure of confidential information?

Answer options

• A. Ensuring printer parameters are properly configured
• B. Using video surveillance in the printer room
• C. Using physical controls to access the printer room
• D. Requiring a printer access code for each user

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Requiring a printer access code for each user ensures that only authorized individuals can retrieve print jobs, thereby protecting confidential information from unauthorized disclosure. While configuring printer parameters, using video surveillance, and applying physical controls can enhance security, they do not directly prevent unauthorized access to the printed documents themselves.
