Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 778

Which of the following would BEST mitigate the risk associated with reputational damage from inappropriate use of social media sites by employees?

Answer options

• A. Disabling social media access from the organization's technology
• B. Validating employee social media accounts and passwords
• C. Implementing training and awareness programs
• D. Monitoring Internet usage on employee workstations

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Implementing training and awareness programs is the most effective method because it educates employees about the implications of their online actions and encourages responsible behavior on social media. The other options, while they may provide some level of control, do not address the root issue of employee understanding and behavior regarding social media usage.
